25 | On 10/28/24, at 1:45 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced Annual Random inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Emily Anne Moreno, 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 5-bedroom and 3-bathroom single-story home. The FCCH utilizes the living room, dining room, one hallway bathroom, and backyard, while the remainder of the home is excluded (5 bedrooms, an additional 2 bathrooms, garage, laundry room, and front yard). Importantly to note, all areas throughout the FCCH that are off-limits to children are made inaccessible by child safety gates and door locks. At the time of the inspection, 2 children were present along with the Licensee's mother, husband, son, and daughter (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. Personal medication and sharps were observed in the kitchen. Personal medication was stored in an elevated cabinet, while sharps were stored on top of the refrigerator both out of reach of children. Cleaning supplies were stored in an off limits area (hallway laundry room) on an elevated rack. The Licensee also informed the LPA that the FCCH possesses a First Aid Kit.
LPA observed age-appropriate toys and other furnishings throughout the interior (living room and dining room) of the FCCH.
LPA observed appropriate licensing forms and documents posted prominently to a bulletin board in the FCCH. LPA observed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the FCCH. A combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector was tested at 1:57 PM and was found to be operational. LPA also observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH, which was purchased on 6/18/24. 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 5/12/24.
