A 1 year inspection was conducted at the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mahnaz (Nancy) Malek. Covid-19 Emergency Questionnaire were answered. LPA observed the facility is following CDC and Dept of Public Health Guidelines. The licensee, Chris Booth and her assistant, Tanya Booth were getting ready for children's arrival. They run a part time program from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon Monday to Friday. The program is closed for summer. LPA observed 12 preschool children arrived. Licensee was operating within the licensed capacity as specified on license. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary on this date indicates all facility residents, staff, or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. 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. Currently there are 2 adults including the licensee residing in the facility.
During today’s inspection, LPA and licensee toured the inside and outside areas of the facility. Off limits areas are made inaccessible by means of door grips on the door handles of the doors leading to areas of the home not designated for day care purposes. The licensee has designated the kitchen/eating area, the den, and bathroom for use by children in care. The garage, not designated for use by day care children, is used as a passage way to side yard. There is at least one working carbon monoxide, smoke detector, and fire extinguisher in the home that meet statutory and State Fire Marshall standards. Detergents, cleaning compounds, medicines, and other items which could pose a danger if readily available to children were stored inaccessible to children. The home has age appropriate toys for the ages served. During today’s inspection LPA verified there is a working phone service.
