25 | On 10/16/24, at 11:05 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced Annual Random inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Amyl Perkins-Sisk, Licensee of the FCCH, and explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. The LPA, in the company of Licensee, toured the interior and exterior of the FCCH. The Licensee utilizes a home studio for the interior of the FCCH. The studio's living room (converted play area), bathroom, and backyard are utilized for childcare services, while the remainder of the studio is excluded (two upstairs bedrooms and kitchen). At the time of the inspection, no children were present.
LPA observed the FCCH to be orderly and clean. The bathroom, utilized for childcare services, is clean and free of toxins. Cleaning compounds and sharps were observed in the kitchen area in an elevated area atop the refrigerator out of reach of children in care. More cleaning products, along with some personal medication and hygiene products were observed in an additional kitchen cabinet. Significant to note, the kitchen is made inaccessible to children in care with a child safety gate. Moreover, the LPA observed a secure closet near the bathroom of the FCCH that contains a host of First Aid Kit supplies.
LPA observed age-appropriate toys, books, furnishings, and other equipment throughout the interior (play area) of the FCCH.
LPA observed appropriate licensing forms and documents posted prominently to a bulletin board at the entry of the FCCH. LPA observed a combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector within the FCCH. The combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector was tested at 11:16 AM. The detector was found to be operational. LPA also observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH, which was last serviced on 9/5/24.
LPA reminded the Licensee to service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher yearly. LPA reviewed the FCCH's fire/disaster drill log. The most recent fire drill occurred on 6/7/24. (CONT. 809-C, Page 2)
