25 | A Pre-licensing inspection visit was conducted today by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Melchisedeck Augustin. The applicant is requesting a license for a capacity 8. Services will be provided Monday - Friday; 6:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. The applicant understands that childcare must be provided in the "primary" residence of the applicant. The residence is a five bedroom/three bath home. There are four adults and one minor living in the home. All minors residing in the home must be fingerprinted within 30 days of reaching their 18th birthday and obtain a TB clearance. Applicant was reminded that all adults 18 and over living in the home, persons who provide care and supervision to children, and staff who have contact with children, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
The floor and yard plans are verified. The four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second floor, one bedroom on the first floor, laundry room, garage and backyard are off limits to the children. These areas have been made inaccessible by means of locking mechanism, latches and child safety gate. The on-limit areas consist of the living/dining room area, kitchen, and one bathroom. The backyard is currently off limits due to construction in the yard to renovate the staircases on both sides of the home, as well as an elevated deck, and there are two glass sliding doors that led to the yard which contained latches. The backyard is accessible from the front yard and the applicant is required to provide supervision at all times and applicant was advised to direct parents to drop off at the front door, and to exercise caution to prevent children from entering the backyard which contained staircases that were not barricaded. The staircase near the front entrance was barricaded with a child safety gate. The home appears to be clean and orderly at this time and will remain so during childcare hours. There is a working telephone. The sharp knives, cleaning supplies, medicines, are stored out of the reach of children. Poisons(s) are key locked inside a bedroom. The kitchen is the designated Isolation Area. The knobs on the stove are inaccessible. (Continue to LIC 809-C) |
