The facility is leased and operated by the licensees and consists of three bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, kitchen, attached two car garage, and backyard. The hours of operation are Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The on-limit areas include: Bedroom #1, hallway bathroom, living room, and backyard. The isolation area is the bedroom with the sliding door, located away from other children in care.

The off-limit areas include: Bedrooms #2 and #3, kitchen, and garage. These areas are made inaccessible to children by closed and/or locked doors and visual supervision.

The home was observed to be clean, orderly, and well maintained, and is equipped with heating and ventilation to ensure the safety and comfort of children. The kitchen area is secured with a gate barrier to prevent children from accessing it freely. LPA asked the licensees whether they have firearms in the home or provide transportation.

• Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.

• Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

LPA inspected cabinets in the on-limit areas (Bedroom #1, hallway bathroom, and living room) and did not observe any hazardous materials or toxins accessible to children during the inspection. LPA tested the smoke detector in the hallway and the carbon monoxide detector in the living room; both were found to be functioning properly. The home is equipped with a working telephone, a first aid kit, and a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher, meeting the standards established by the State Fire Marshal. There are two wall heaters, one in the living room, and one in the hallway—both equipped with protective barricades/screens to prevent access by children. The fireplace is blocked by furniture and also has a barricade/screen to prevent access by children.

At 10:30 a.m., LPA requested and reviewed the files of six (6) children in care. All files contained the required documentation, including Identification and Emergency Information, Parent’s Rights, and Medical Consent forms. LPA also reviewed the health records of the licensees and children and found that the licensees are in compliance with immunization laws applicable to childcare providers.

The licensees conduct and document fire and disaster drills at least once every six months, with the most recent drill conducted on October 16, 2025. The licensees have completed the required Health and Safety training, and their CPR and First Aid certifications are current, expiring in December 2027. Additionally, the licensees completed Mandated Reporter Training on March 21, 2026. The facility roster was reviewed and accurately reflects both currently enrolled children and those no longer attending the facility. All required licensing documents are posted and visible for public review.
