25 | On October 17, 2025, at 8:20 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elimika Woods conducted an unannounced annual/random inspection and met with licensee Naga Jonnalagadda. LPA disclosed the purpose of the visit and conducted a health and safety inspection, touring the facility both inside and outside. Present during the inspection were the licensee’s fingerprint cleared assistant, the licensee’s husband, and four children in care—one (1) infant and three (3) preschool-age children. The facility operates Monday through Friday, from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
This single-story home, owned by the licensee, consists of three (3) bedrooms, two (2) bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, living room, childcare room (converted garage), and a fully fenced backyard. The home was observed to be clean, orderly, and well maintained, with central heating, air conditioning, and proper ventilation for safety and comfort. LPA asked the licensee if she transports children in care, and the licensee stated that she does not provide transportation. The licensee also stated that there are no firearms or weapons of any kind in the home.
At 8:45 AM, LPA inspected the backyard area and confirmed that no pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water were present, in compliance with childcare licensing regulations. The outdoor play area is fully fenced and free of hazards or dangerous conditions. The left side of the backyard is off-limits to children in care and is secured by a black safety fence. The backyard area contains age-appropriate play equipment, including small slides with cushioning underneath to help absorb falls. The backyard area also has trees that provides adequate shade to children during play.
On-limit areas include: the kitchen, main bathroom, living room, childcare room (converted garage), and the main section of the backyard.
The isolation area for an ill child will be the living room, away from other children in care.
Off-limit areas include: the dining room (converted office), master bedroom and master bathroom, two additional bedrooms, and the rear side yard separated by a small black fence on the left and rear left of the home. Off-limit areas are made inaccessible to children through the use of closed and/or locked doors, gates/fencing, and/or constant visual supervision.
