On 8/13/2024 at 10:00am, an annual inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs), Elizabeth Friese and Tammy Dutra. At 10:00am the home was toured inside and outside. The licensee was supervising 4 children and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. The facility’s operating hours are 7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday–Friday. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are the 3 bedrooms, master bathroom, 4 outdoor sheds, and an additional dwelling unit on the property and were made inaccessible by baby gate, padlocks and doorknob lock. The children use the backyard as the outdoor play area and it is fully fenced. There is an in ground pool in the back yard. The pool is not fully fenced and the fence is currently under construction. The self latching gate is not properly installed and remains open rather than closing although a spring is visible. Licensee has a pool cover which she is installing immediately that may or may not be Title 22 regulation while the gate and fence are reconfigured or a Title 22 pool cover is obtained and installed.

4 children's records were reviewed at 10:35am. 2 staff records were reviewed at 10:50am. There are currently 3 adults living in the home.

The following deficiencies were cited: accessible body of water (civil penalty of $500.00 assessed), 1 of 2 staff files reviewed missing mandated reporter and immunizations. (see LIC 809D):
