25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amanda Blesi met with Licensee, Akiko Lake, for the purpose of an unannounced required 1-year inspection. Also present were two assistants, licensee's husband, licensee's 17 year old son and one adult son. At 10:15 AM LPA observed three day care children in care. No infants were present today.
At 10:30 a.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 all of the upstairs, laundry room and garage. Licensee understands children may never enter the off limit areas. LPA observed the required postings, a working phone, 2A10BC fire extinguisher, and functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. LPA observed weapons and ammunition stored and locked separately. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. Fireplace is barricaded to prevent access by children. Stairs were barricaded to prevent access when children under 5 are present. Outdoor play space is fenced. Licensee states no new residents have moved into the home since the last inspection.
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.
A current roster is being maintained and fire and disaster drills are documented. Licensee's CPR and First Aid certification was expired. LPA verified Mandated Reporter certificates for licensee and assistants.
