25 | On 10/15/24, at 1:40 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced Annual Random inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Kacee Coates, 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 house is a 3-bedroom and 2-bathroom single story home. The home's entry room (converted play area), one guest bedroom (converted nap-room), hallway bathroom, and backyard are used for child care services, while the remainder of the home is excluded (one guest bedroom, master bedroom, master bathroom, garage, and front yard). At the time of the inspection, four children (including 2 infants) were present. Licensee completes Infant Sleep Charts for respective infants.
LPA observed the FCCH to be orderly and clean. The hallway bathroom, utilized for childcare services, is clean and free of toxins. Cleaning compounds were observed in the kitchen area in a secure pantry inaccessible to children in care. Sharps were also observed in the kitchen area elevated and out of reach of children. Additionally, the LPA observed personal medication in an elevated area in the hallway closet. Licensee also informed LPA that there is a First Aid Kit present in the FCCH.
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 smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the FCCH. A carbon monoxide detector was tested at 1:50 PM and a smoke detector was tested at 1:53 PM. Both detectors were found to be operational. LPA also observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH, which was purchased on on 7/23/24.
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 6/12/24. Licensee(CONT. 809-C, Page 2)
