On Thursday, 6 February, 2025, at approximately 12:15pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Fabian Schwartz and CDSS employee Saralyn Adkins met with Licensees, Georgina Igwegbe and Catherine Onuoha for the purpose of an unannounced annual inspection. Upon arrival, LPA observed licensees supervising 4 preschool children, 3 of which were infants. All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained a criminal record clearance. LPA observed proper ratio and capacity was being followed. Facility hours of operation are Monday-Friday 7:00am-6:00pm. LPA verified that the annual fees are current.

A health and safety evaluation was conducted in all areas accessible to children. At beginning of inspection, LPA observed 2 children to be sleeping in hanging chairs which is a violation of safe sleep regulations for children in care. Licensee immediately moved children from hanging chairs to pack-n-plays returning the facility back to compliance with safe sleep regulations. Facility is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom one-story home. Off-limit areas include: Bedroom #2, Bedroom #3, Laundry Room, and Garage. Licensee acknowledged that children may never enter these off-limit areas. LPA observed that the facility is clean, sanitary, and in good repair. LPA observed a functioning smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and a full 2A10BC fire extinguisher. The facility has adequate toys that appear to be safe for children to use. During inspection, LPA observed 2 bottles of cleaner chemicals in accessible areas of facility. LPA also observed an infant bouncer at facility which is a banned item from licensed childcare facilities. The licensee stated there are no weapons or poisons in the home. LPA observed that there is a fenced backyard with no pool.
