On 8/19/2024, at 8:45 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Janai McClain arrived at the home for an unannounced Annual Inspection. LPA met with licensee Karen Hearne. The licensee lives in the home with two small dogs. Present during the inspection were five preschool age children in care. Licensee stated that the facility operates from Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM.

LPA toured the facility to conduct a Health and Safety inspection. The facility is a one story home. The home is neat and clean, with heating and ventilation for the safety and comfort of children in care.

ON LIMIT AREAS: living room, 2 bedrooms (room 1 and 2), bathroom, front yard, and the backyard. The front and backyard play area is completely fenced. The Isolation area is in a corner of the living room.
OFF-LIMIT AREAS: kitchen, quiet room, and the detached garage.

The off-limit areas will be made inaccessible by gates, closed and/or locked doors and visual supervision. There are no pools, hot tubs or any other bodies of water present in the on-limit areas during today's inspection. LPA did not observe any hazardous materials or toxins accessible to children during today’s inspection. There are ample age appropriate toys that appear to be safe and in good condition.
