25 | On January 9, 2024., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van conducted a required inspection at the above facility. LPA rang the doorbell multiple times but received no response for about five minutes. During this time, one of the parents arrived, and an assistant opened the door. The assistant led the child inside and asked LPA to wait. After about seven to ten minutes, the Licensee, Xu Ming Chen, pulled up to the driveway. LPA explained the purpose of the inspection to the Licensee and was finally granted access to the property. The Licensee explained that the assistant was new and unaware of the Department Inspection Authority. Upon entering the facility, LPA observed two helpers supervising 12 children, 8 preschool-aged children, and 4 infants. The facility complies with the licensing capacity and limits today. All adults who live or work in the house have a criminal background check. There are no changes to the childcare areas previously approved, with the same off-limits and childcare areas. Day Care Area: the living room, children's nap room, Licensee's bedroom, the playroom, children's bathroom, the deck, and the backyard. Off-limit areas are the Licensee's children's bedrooms, the kitchen/dining area on the second floor, and the entire ground level. The days and hours of the operation are Monday – Friday from 8:00 am – 5:30 am. The Licensee has valid childcare liability insurance through Acord.
LPA and the Licensee inspected the childcare areas for any potential dangers to health and safety hazards. LPA observed the childcare areas were in good condition and clean. The age-appropriate activities included imaginative, creative, and manipulative play. Moreover, the heating, lighting, and ventilation were sufficient, and no potential hazards could endanger children in care.
