25 | On February 1, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Van, conducted an unannounced annual inspection and met with Licensee helper Olga Safronova. Licensee and her adult daughter arrived a moment later. The purpose of the inspection was explained, and LPA was granted entry to the home by the helper. Two helpers were supervising 11 children, four infants and seven preschoolers. All adults living in the home or working at the daycare have cleared criminal records. The Licensee owns the house. Daycare areas are on the ground level, including a nap room, two playrooms, a bathroom, and a backyard. Off-limit areas are the entire second floor and the garage. Days and operation hours are 8:00 am – 6:00 pm, Monday – Thursday, and 8:00 am – 5:00 pm on Friday. Per Licensee, sick children will be separated from the group and wait in the backyard or nap room for the parent to pick them up.
LPA and the Licensee toured the childcare areas for health and safety hazards. The childcare area is clean and organized, with age-appropriate toys and equipment. The house has sufficient lighting and ventilation. A functional telephone, multiple working smokes and carbon monoxide detectors, and a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher are all in the house. LPA observed several play yards and highchairs at the facility. LPA reminded the Licensee that highchairs are used only when children are eating/feeding. LPA did not observe any toys or pillows inside and no objects hanging above the cribs/playpens. LPA discussed with the Licensee that all mattresses/padding should be designed for the particular cribs/play yards, and bedsheets should be tight-fitted. In addition, the Licensee was informed to physically check on the infant every 15 minutes during naptime. The Licensee understood that no baby walkers, bouncers, exersaucers, or other similar items are permissible to be used during daycare hours. According to the Licensee, there are no bodies of water on the premises. Daycare children have no access to detergents, disinfectants, or cleaning chemicals. The Licensee stated there are no guns or weapons in the house. |
