LPA met with Elizabeth Reyes Pina, Licensee of the FCCH and explained the nature/purpose of the inspection. At the time of the inspection, LPA notes three children are in care.
LPA, in the company of the Licensee, toured the interior and exterior of the FCCH. LPA observed the FCCH's interior and exterior to be free of hazardous materials and/or toxins which would pose a danger to the children in care.
LPA reviewed Licensee’s First Aid/CPR certification (EMSA approved) which was found to be current until 4/9/24. Further, LPA reviewed the Licensee’s Mandated Reporter Training certification which was found to be current until 3/23/24. LPA observed a regulation fire extinguisher which was last serviced on 4/5/23.
