25 | On 12/30/24, at 10:44 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced random inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Haydee Villa, 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 3 bathroom single-story home. The FCCH utilizes a living room, guestroom (converted playroom), one bathroom, and a backyard. The remainder of the home is excluded from childcare services (3 bedrooms, 2 additional bathrooms, garage, etc). At the time of the inspection, 5 children were present. The Licensee's husband and mother were also present during the visit (all family members are cleared and associated).
LPA observed the FCCH to be orderly and clean. The bathroom, utilized for childcare services, is clean, orderly, and free of toxins. The bathroom cabinet doesn’t contain any items. Personal medication and sharps were observed in elevated kitchen cabinets. No children currently require medication. Lower kitchen cabinets are made secure by child safety latches. Cleaning supplies were observed in the home’s hallway in an elevated cabinet above the washing machine. Importantly to note, the hallway possesses a child safety gate making guestrooms and other areas inaccessible. The Licensee possesses a First Aid Kit for the FCCH.
LPA observed age-appropriate books, toys, and other furnishings throughout the interior of the FCCH (playroom and living room).
LPA observed appropriate licensing forms and documents posted prominently at the entry of the FCCH. LPA observed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in guestrooms of the FCCH. At 11:08 AM, a combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector in the playroom was tested and was found to be operational.
LPA also observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH, which was last purchased on 4/15/24. 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 fire drill occurred on 11/27/24. Licensee informed LPA that the FCCH conducts disaster drills every six months (CONT. 809-C, Page 2).
