On 2/4/25, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Saraliz Velando and Hanna Lucas arrived at the facility to conduct an unannounced annual inspection. LPAs were granted entry by Licensee, Brenda Hudgins. There were 4 children in care. The facility is within ratio and capacity. The one level home was toured and inspected to ensure the environment is safe for the care and supervision of children.

Licensee stated she uses the entire home for day care, except for the garage. Bedrooms are used for napping in pack and plays or cots/trundle bed for the older children. The garage is secured with a latch placed up high. Licensee has provided adequate space for the children to eat, sleep and play within the home. There is a working phone and email address for the facility. There is a fire extinguisher that meets regulations located in the dining room area. The carbon monoxide detector and the smoke alarm are located in the hallway and both are operational. All hazardous items were latched/locked and secured out of reach of children, this includes detergents, cleaning compounds, medications and other items which could pose a danger to children. There is fireplace in the living room that has been screened making it inaccessible. Licensee has an in-ground pool located in her backyard and has a pool waiver that was issued to her on 12/18/2001. However, there are new pool regulations effective 1/1/2025. The pool waiver is no longer allowed and new pool safety requirements must be met. Please see deficiencies on LIC809-D.

All required postings were posted. Licensee's pediatric CPR and First Aid Card will expire in October 2026. Licensee has an AB1207 mandated child abuse training certificate that expired in October 2024. Licensee last conducted a fire drill with the children in care on 12/9/24.
