25 | On 10/12/22, Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Loretta Dyson arrived at the home for an unannounced Required - 1 year inspection. LPM met with Yuen Mei Cheng and Tony Zhen. There were two infants in care during the inspection. This family child care home operates Monday - Friday 8am - 6pm. LPM verified that the licensee's phone number and email address on file are correct.
LPM toured the home with Tony Zhen, to conduct a health and safety inspection. The home is a one story home, and consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, kitchen, dining area, storage area and basement. LPM observed that the home is neat and clean with heating and ventilation for the safety and comfort of children in care. The on limit areas include the first bedroom near the front door, the bedroom next to the living room, the living room, dining area, and bathrooms. The off limit areas include the rear bedroom near the kitchen, the kitchen, storage area, and basement. These areas are made inaccessible by closed and/or locked doors, gates, and visual supervision. LPM observed locks on lower cabinets to prevent access by children. The bedroom near the front door will be used for isolation of sick children, away from other children in care. The fireplace in the living room is blocked to prevent access by children. The front and back yards are used for outdoor play and both yards are fully fenced. LPM did not observe any hazards or dangerous conditions in either yard. LPM observed an ample supply of age appropriate toys, equipment and activities available for children both indoors and outdoors, and observed that they are in good condition. LPM did not observe any bodies of water, toxins, medications or hazardous items that would be accessible to children. The licensees stated that there are no firearms on the premises.
The home is equipped with fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguishers, a working carbon monoxide detector, working smoke detector, working telephone, and first aid kits and supplies. Both licensees have proof of current CPR/First aid certificates, which expire on 11/21/22. The last documented fire drill was conducted on 10/2/22. LPM observed all of the required forms posted. LPM reviewed children's files, staff files and obtained a copy of the current roster. |
