LPA toured and inspected the childcare areas to identify potential health and safety concerns. The childcare areas were found to be clean and well-organized. The facility offers age-appropriate books and activities for children to learn and explore. The home has sufficient heating, lighting, and ventilation, with no risks observed that could harm the children. There is no fireplace present in the childcare areas. The home has a carbon monoxide, smoke detector, and a fully charged fire extinguisher with a minimum standard of 2A 10 BC.
Cleaning supplies and disinfectants were observed to be stored out of children's reach. The licensee states that the home does not have any firearms or weapons. LPA observed no baby walkers, bouncers, or similar equipment in the childcare areas. The licensee was reminded that smoking is prohibited in the family childcare home.
According to the staff, the play yards are only set up during naptime. However, all staff members acknowledge that no blankets, toys, or pillows should be placed inside the play yards while infants sleep. Additionally, sleep shacks are not permitted. The infants' sleeping logs were reviewed during the inspection and found to be complete, with the child's name, dates checked, and the fifteen-minute check increment.
The outdoor area was observed to be well-kept and securely fenced. It features play structures suitable for children, all set up with artificial grass underneath to minimize the risk of injury from accidental falls.
Temporary absence was discussed, and the licensee's questions or inquiries were answered.
