During this inspection, there were no children present. There were 4 children who were at the daycare in the morning. There were 9 enrolled children in care.
LPA toured the home which is duplex. One side is for the licensee and the other is for the brother. Primary childcare areas are living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and backyard. The facility sketch on file is accurate. At the time of inspection, there are no off-limit areas. Licensee, Amy Dawwod requested the kitchen to be an off-limit area. It has a regular door which will be locked and will use the child safety lock as an additional safety measure to have the kitchen inaccessible to the children in care. LPA granted the updated request to have the kitchen as an inaccessible area. There are no weapons stored in the home or on the property and there are no bodies of water observed. The fire extinguisher is full and of adequate size and located by the kitchen door. The smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector are operational.
