On Tuesday, January 7, 2025, at 9:45 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Manel Estoesta conducted an unannounced Random Visit. LPA met with the Licensee Vimu Patel and explained the nature of site visit. Present on this visit were the 3 infants. The home operates from Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 6:30 pm.

The Licensee stated that she submitted a Family Childcare Home (FCCH) Large License. LPA advised the Licensee to get in touch with the Regional Office for updates. The Licensee understood.

LPA toured the home to conduct a Health and Safety Inspection with the Licensee. The home is a one-story home. The home is neat and clean with central heating and ventilation for safety and comfort.

The On-Limit Areas are the Family Room (Day Care Room adjacent to the garage), Living Room, Kitchen, hallway bathroom, the Napping Room (adjacent to the Master Bedroom and Office Room), the Office Room and the fully fenced front and backyard. The backyard is the designated play area. The Living Room is the designated Isolation Area when a child gets sick. The home does have a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher. The home has a working smoke detector and carbon monoxide, and a mobile phone. There are ample age-appropriate toys that appear to be safe and in good condition. There are no pools, hot tubs or any other bodies of water present during today's inspection. All hazardous materials and toxins are kept out of the reach of children, and it was observed that there are no toxins or hazardous items accessible today.

The Off Limit Area are the master bedroom with master bathroom, the Licencee's daughters room, and the garage. LPA reminded the Licensee that the Off Limit Areas will be inaccessible to children by locked doors, safety gates and visual supervision. Licensee understood. The Licensee owns the home and LPA reviewed the Licensee’s proof of control of property. The Licensee does not carry childcare liability insurance or a bond and maintain the signed form LIC 282 AFFIDAVIT REGARDING LIABILITY INSURANCE.
