25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amanda Blesi met with Licensee, Kathleen Granholm, for the purpose of an unannounced required 1-year inspection. Licensee states no others are present in the home today. LPA observed a total census of 5 children ages, 11 months, 1 1/2, 3, 5, and 2 years old.
At 12:30 p.m., Licensee guided LPA on a tour of the facility, and a health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Off-limits areas include backyard and fenced pasture. Licensee acknowledged that children must never enter these areas. LPA observed the required postings, a working phone, 2A10BC fire extinguisher, and functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Weapons and ammunition were locked and stored separately. LPA did not observe bodies of water at the facility. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. There are two wood stoves which were barricaded to prevent access by children. Stairs were barricaded to prevent access when children under 5 are present. Outdoor play space is fenced.
Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
LPA reviewed five children’s files. A current roster is being maintained and fire and disaster drills are documented. First aid and Mandated Reporter were expired for licensee. (Report continues LIC809-C) |
