The facility has a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher which meets standards established by the State Fire Marshal in the kitchen. The Isolation area of the home will be a section of the living room, away from other children in care. This home has air conditioning (AC) and centralized heating. LPA asked the licensee does she transports children and the licensee stated that she does transport children and provided LPA with a copy of her driver's license. There are firearms stored at this facility in a locked firearm cabinet in an off-limits area inaccessible to children in care. All required forms are posted and visible for public review.

At 11:15 AM, LPA requested and reviewed the files of two (2) children in care and one staff file. All children’s files contain Immunization, Identification & Emergency Information, Parent's Rights, and Medical Consent forms and the staff file has the required Immunization and Employee Rights forms. During the record review, LPA Woods checked the Health Records of the licensee, staff, and children and found that the licensee is following the immunization laws which pertain to all childcare providers. The licensee conducts and documents fire and disaster drills twice a year with the last one conducted on 05/06/2024.

The backyard is free from defects or dangerous conditions. There are ample age-appropriate toys. During today's inspection, there are no play structures which are required to be anchored. There's a gazebo that provides shade to children while at play. The backyard area appears to be safe and in good condition. There's an in-law unit that is off-limits to children in care in the backyard and multiple sheds with locks. All adults living in the in-law unit subject to criminal background review have obtained criminal record clearance.
