25 | On 10/20/25, at 1:00 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced annual random inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Natalie Jordan, Licensee of the FCCH, and explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. The LPA, in the company of Licensee, toured the FCCH in its entirety (inside and outside). The home is a 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom single story home. The areas that are accessible for day care children are as follows: living room, back area (classroom), one bathroom, and backyard. The remainder of the home is excluded from childcare services, including all of the bedrooms. In the home, inaccessible areas and rooms are made secure by child safety gates and locks. At the time of the inspection, LPA observed 5 napping children present, 1 of whom was an infant. Besides the Licensee, the Licensee's daughter was also present helping with the care and supervision of children (cleared and associated). The Licensee's teenage son was also present during the inspection (underage).
LPA observed the FCCH to be clean and orderly. The bathroom, utilized for childcare, is clean and free of toxins. LPA observed bathroom cabinets to be free of hazardous items. LPA observed sharps, cleaning supplies, and medication stored in locked and elevated kitchen cabinets. No children currently require medication. Licensee informed LPA of a number of First Aid Kits present in the residence for the day care.
LPA observed age-appropriate toys, furnishings, and equipment throughout the living room and classroom. In the living room, LPA observed a wood-burning stove that is covered by plastic gates which makes it inaccessible to children in care. Licensee informed LPA that the fireplace is not operational. LPA observed no animals present on site and confirmed that this was the case with the Licensee.
LPA observed relevant licensing forms and documents posted prominently in the living room of the residence. LPA observed separate smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the classroom. The smoke detector (CONT. 809-C, Page 2)
