25 | On 01/11/23 at 4:15PM, LPA, Luigi Gargaro, conducted an unannounced capacity increase visit with the licensee, Veronique Laguerre. Ms. Laguerre speaks limited English but had her adult son, Jourdain Bleeker, present to provide translation during visit. The two story home was toured and inspected to ensure an environment safe for the care and supervision of children. The fire extinguisher and combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector meet requirements and are operational. All hazardous items were latched/locked and secured out of reach of children. Analyst inquired of the licensee about whether there were any bodies of water or weapons in the home and she replied no. A review of staff records on this date indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse clearances or exemptions. The home appears to be able to accommodate up to 14 children. Fire clearance was received on 12/12/22. First Aid and CPR certifications expire on 05/18/24 for the licensee.
Licensee will be using the following rooms for childcare: the dining room, the living room, the day care bathroom all located in the first floor of the home. The back portion of the living room is made off limits with an installed child safety gate as licensee has personal and other items she wishes to make inaccessible to children. The following additional areas will also be off limits: the kitchen and the entire second floor of the home. The kitchen is made off limits with a child safety gate installed at the entrance between it and the dining room while the second floor is also made inaccessible with a child safety gate installed at the bottom of the home staircase. The licensee has sufficient toys and equipment available. The home has a gated patio area immediately to the back of the home that is available for outdoor activities. Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see Evaluator Manual - Regulation Interpretations and Procedures for Family Child Care Homes Section 102417.
