25 | On August 23, 2021, at 2:30PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Luigi Gargaro, conducted an unannounced annual required inspection and met with the licensee, Guerlyne Milord. Ms. Milord speaks very limited English so her spouse, Marc Milord, who assists in the facility and returned home after analyst arrived, provided translation between her and the analyst. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by the licensee and her husband. Nine children were present in the facility under the supervision of Ms. Milord and her minor assistant daughter when analyst arrived. There were also three adults and two children belonging to them who were visiting the family during analyst's inspection who left shortly after he arrived. This facility is a one story, four bedroom, two bathroom home. Licensee and her husband accompanied LPA inside and out of the facility during this inspection. The following areas used for child care are: the kitchen, dining/living room area, the first and second bedrooms and the first bathroom. Off limits areas are the third and fourth bedrooms and the second bathroom and are inaccessible through use of locking door knobs. Applicant understands that during day care hours all off limits rooms should be closed and locked or made off limits with door knob covers or installed security devices so that they are inaccessible to children.
The fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector met requirements. Most hazardous items were inaccessible to children. The licensee has toys, play equipment and materials available. The home has a fenced front yard, however, a portion of the area is occupied with personal items and equipment that potentially constitute a tripping and falling hazard for children in care. The licensee is in the process of clearing the front yard to the day care and will have the yard cleared within the week. The children may use the cleared portion of the yard in the meantime under the direct supervision of the licensee.
No bodies of water observed on the premises during the inspection. Licensee stated there are no weapons in the home. A review of staff records on this date indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse clearances or exemptions. Licensee’s First Aid and CPR certifications expire on March of 2022. Mr. Milord's certifications expire on April of 2023. Licensee and her spouse did not have required immunizations records available for review today. Licensee and her spouse are currently exempt from Mandated Reporter Training. Facility roster was not available for review today. The last fire and disaster drills were conducted and documented on 06/21/21. Licensee currently has no infants under 12 months in care but analyst previously provided her with a copy of the safe sleep regulations for her to review at a future date. |
