The LPA was granted entry by the Licensee, Helen Lee. LPAs explained the purpose of the visit. Present during LPAs’ visit included licensee, and 5 enrolled children (1 infant and 4 preschool age). The licensee is operating within capacity limits and ratio during LPAs’ visit.
Licensee owned and lived in a 2 stories single-family house. Adults living in the home have criminal record clearance on file. The hours of operation are Monday through Friday 9:00am to 4:30pm. The DAY CARE AREAS are on the ground level including, a large playroom, a bathroom, and a backyard. Per the licensee, she closed the backyard for the daycare temporarily. The licensee has taken the children to the public park nearby instead. LPAs observed the door access to backyard was closed. The OFF LIMIT AREAS are the entire second floor and the storage area, the front office on the ground floor, and a garage. Off-limit areas are properly barricaded with child safety gates and/or closed doors.
The LPAs and the licensee both performed inspection of the daycare facility to look for any potential health and safety hazards. Toys and equipment that are suitable for children of the proper age range are provided at the daycare. The facility has sufficient lighting and ventilation, and it is free of any defects or conditions that put children at risk. The facility is equipped with a first aid kit that is completely loaded with everything that is required for the treatment of injuries. The daycare facility is equipped with a smoke detector, and a carbon monoxide detector (tested under working conditions during the visit), and a 3A40BC fire extinguisher that is always ready for use. Every garbage can and power outlet has been covered. Products for cleaning and washing, detergents, and any other materials that could put children in danger are stored out of the children’s reach. The LPAs did not find any walkers, bouncers, or other comparable objects during today’s inspection. According to the licensee, there are reportedly no firearms or other weapons on the premises.
