25 | On February 19, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elimika Woods conducted an unannounced Annual/Random Inspection and met with Licensee Cristina Wilder. LPA disclosed the purpose of the visit and conducted a health and safety inspection, touring the facility both indoors and outdoors. Present during the inspection was the licensee’s fingerprint-cleared mother, who serves as her assistant. Also present were 14 children in care, consisting of eight preschool-age children and six school-age children. The facility operates Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The facility is a single-story home leased by the licensee and consists of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, backyard, and an attached one-car garage. The home was observed to be clean, orderly, and well maintained. It is equipped with heating, portable air conditioning, and ventilation to ensure the safety and comfort of children in care.
LPA inquired whether there were any weapons or firearms in the home and whether the licensee transports children in care. The licensee stated that there are no weapons or firearms in the home and that she does not transport children in care.
On-limits areas include the living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, bathroom, and backyard. The isolation area is a designated section of the family room, located away from other children in care.
Off-limits areas include the garage, second bedroom, and primary bedroom. These areas are made inaccessible to children through closed and/or locked doors and visual supervision.
At 10:00 a.m., LPA inspected the backyard area and confirmed that there were no pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water present, in compliance with childcare licensing regulations. The outdoor play area includes various play equipment and outdoor furniture, such as benches, tables, chairs, playhouses, shopping carts, tricycles, ride-on cars, trucks, tractors, a swing set, and slides. The swing set was observed to be anchored to the ground with cushioning underneath to absorb falls. The backyard is fully fenced and free from defects or hazardous conditions. A large awning provides shade and protection from harmful sunlight during outdoor play. A storage shed was observed to be locked and inaccessible to children in care.
