On February 20, 2025, at approximately 1:00 p.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Zeynep Basak conducted an unannounced annual inspection, met with Assistant 1 and the licensee arrived 20 minutes later. The purpose of the visit was explained to the licensee.

LPA observed 2 assistants were supervising 10 children (2 infants, 1 toddler, and 1 preschooler). LPA observed a separate living space "guestroom" in the backyard and found there was an adult without fingerprint clearance supervising six children (3 infants and 3 preschoolers). Since the guestroom is a part of the facility two Type A violations will be cited for having an adult without fingerprint clearance in the facility and for overcapacity. A civil penalty will be assessed today.

The licensee owns a five-bedroom, three-bathroom house. The licensee stated she and her 21-year-old daughter live in the home. LPA verified the criminal clearance on the Guardian website. The Childcare Home's operational hours are Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

DAY CARE AREAS: Living room, dining room, bathroom #2, and backyard.
OFF-LIMIT AREAS: Kitchen, laundry room, bedroom #1, bedroom #2, bedroom #3, bathroom #1, garage, side yards, separate living space in backyard, and entire second floor. LPA observed all off-limit areas, including all closets are properly locked/barricaded.

According to the licensee, there have been no changes to the previously approved childcare areas and off-limits areas.
LPA observed the home to be clean and in good repair with proper temperature and ventilation. LPA observed working smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and a fully charged fire extinguisher in the size of 2A:10BC in the daycare area.
