On 2/28/2024, at 9AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Brittany Crass arrived at the home for an unannounced required/random inspection. LPA met with licensee Lorie Harnden. There was 1 infant and 7 preschool aged children in care at the time of arrival. At 9:10AM a fingerprint cleared assistant arrived with her own infant aged child, for a total of 2 infants, and 7 preschool aged children in care during todays inspection. This family childcare home operates Monday - Friday 8AM-5PM. The licensee provides breakfast, lunch, and a snack. There is one cat in the home. LPA verified that the licensee's phone number and email address on file are correct.

LPA toured the on-limits areas of the home with Lorie Harnden to conduct a health and safety inspection. The home is a single story home. LPA observed that the home is neat and clean for the safety and comfort of children in care. The on-limit areas include the front living room, bathroom, kitchen, and backyard. The backyard includes two fully fenced in sections, a sandbox, and an art room with a bathroom inside. The off-limit areas of the home are made inaccessible by closed and/or locked doors, gates, and visual supervision. LPA observed locks on lower cabinets to prevent access by children. A corner in the kitchen is 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. LPA 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. LPA did not observe any bodies of water, toxins, medications or hazardous items that would be accessible to children. The licensee stated that there are no firearms on the premises.

The home is equipped with fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher, a working combination carbon monoxide/smoke detector, a smoke detector monitored by ADT, and a working telephone. Licensee has proof of current CPR/First aid certificates, which expire on 3/10/2025 and a mandated reporter training certificate which expires on 4/4/2024. The last documented fire drill was conducted on 2/14/2024. LPA observed all of the required forms posted. LPA reviewed children's files, staff files and obtained a copy of the current roster.
