LPA met with Ana Rodarte, 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 FCCH is a 4-bedroom and 2 bathroom two-story residence. The FCCH utilizes the home's living room (converted day care room), one hallway bathroom, and front patio. The remainder of the home is excluded from childcare services (master bedroom, master bathroom, 3 guest bedrooms, kitchen, upstairs loft, backyard, and garage). Importantly to note, excluded rooms and areas are made inaccessible via child safety locks and gates. At the time of the inspection, 3 children were present, along with 1 staff assistant, the Licensee's two sons, and mom (cleared and associated). LPA observed the FCCH to be orderly and clean. The hallway bathroom, utilized for childcare services, is clean, orderly, and free of toxins. Child safety locks were observed on cabinets. Sharps and cleaning compounds are stored in kitchen cabinets that are either locked or elevated. Additional cleaning supplies are stored in the garage. Currently, no children require medication, however, personal medication is stored in an elevated area in the Licensee's bedroom. The Licensee also possesses a First Aid Kit for the FCCH. LPA observed age-appropriate books, toys, and other furnishings throughout the interior of the FCCH (converted day care room). LPA observed child safety gates in the day care room, as well as a fireplace that is enclosed by a metal screen. LPA observed appropriate licensing forms and documents posted prominently to a bulletin board outside adjacent to the front door. LPA observed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the FCCH. At 2:46 PM, a smoke detector was tested, while at 3:06 PM a carbon monoxide detector was tested. Both detectors were found to be operational. (CONT. 809-C, Page 2)

LPA also observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH, which was last purchased on 2/24/25. LPA reminded the Licensee to service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher annually. LPA reviewed the FCCH's fire/disaster drill log. The most recent drill occurred on 2/24/25. Licensee informed LPA that the FCCH conducts disaster drills every six months.

As previously stated, the front patio is accessible to children in care, while the backyard area is not. The FCCH's outdoor area is enclosed by wooden fencing, bushes, and by other barricades throughout. The fence’s entry/exit points are secure. As is the case with the interior of the FCCH, the front patio has age-appropriate play structures, toys, and other equipment throughout the area that can afford for robust childcare services. LPA also observed a basketball hoop. Licensee was reminded to replace toys and play equipment which start to degrade or are not in good repair. The footing of the exterior is made up of varying surfaces (concrete pavement and artificial turf). Shade is provided by house overhangs and by trees. Licensee attested to LPA that children are always supervised when engaged in outside activity. Importantly to note, in the backyard of the house, an area that is inaccessible for children in care, LPA observed a jacuzzi that is covered by a thick and tight fitting leather cover with additional weighted items on top of it. The Licensee attested that the jacuzzi is never utilized even outside of day care hours.

LPA reviewed children's records. The records are current, complete, and possessed emergency contact information and immunization records, among other relevant licensing documents. The Licensee's records were also reviewed. The Licensee's CPR/First Aid Training (EMSA approved), expiring on 8/19/26, and their Mandated Reporter Training, expiring on 7/13/25, is current and complete as are other relevant licensing documents and forms. Licensee was reminded to renew certifications and training prior to expirations. Licensee informed LPA that there are no firearms or bodies of water present at the FCCH.

The Licensee does not currently provide Incidental Medical Services (IMS) or administer medication to children in care. IMS policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02CCP. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at: http://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm.
