The LPA was granted entry by the Licensee, Bixia Zhou. LPA explained the purpose of the visit. Present during LPA's visit included licensee, helper, licensee’s spouse, and 6 enrolled children (3 infants and 3 preschool age). One of the licensee's minor children is under the age of 10 years old. Licensee understands children under 10 years old that live in the home are counted towards overall capacity. The license is operating within capacity limits and ratio during LPA's visit.
The licensee lives in the home with spouse and 2 children (minors) in a 2 stories single-family unit including 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a dining room on the upper level; the lower level includes a garage and a backyard. All adults living in the home have criminal record clearance on file. The facility is called THE LITTLE SEEDS CHILDCARE The hours of operation are Monday through Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm. The DAY CARE AREAS are the living room, dining room, bathroom #1 (between the stairway and living room), bedroom #2 (licensee's older child's room), and a backyard. The OFF LIMIT AREAS are the entire lower level, garage, bedroom #1, kitchen, and bathroom #2. Off-limit areas are properly barricaded with child safety gates and/or closed doors. There is a stair at the backyard that was observed to have a child safety gate.
The LPA 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 combination of smoke and carbon monoxide detector that was tested under working conditions, and a 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 LPA 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. The LPA found that the facility did not have any bodies of water. (Continued Report on Page 2...) |
