A health and safety inspection of the indoor and outdoor daycare areas found the home clean and well-ventilated. Hazardous materials were inaccessible to the children. The bathroom was sanitary and fully operational. The facility has a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit, a carbon monoxide detector, and a smoke detector.
The daycare provides age-appropriate toys, furniture, and learning materials. Safety precautions include using safety covers on electrical outlets and installing child locks on kitchen cabinets containing chemicals or detergents.
S1 confirmed there are no firearms or weapons on the premises.
The backyard is surrounded by a fence and free of debris. Outdoor play equipment is available for children to use and is in good condition. LPA did not find any pools, spas, or other bodies of water on the property.
The facility provides lunch and snacks to its children. S1 reported that none of the children require prescribed medications.
The facility provides play yards and mats for children to take naps in. LPA observed that sheets and blankets were available for the children. Infant mattresses are firm and equipped with appropriately sized sheets. All play yards are well-maintained and free of loose items that could pose safety risks. The parents provide blankets for their children, and the facility provides sheets for its children, which are washed weekly by the facility.
A childcare roster was made available for LPA's review.
LPA requested a review of the facility’s childcare insurance, but the S1 stated that she does not have childcare insurance at this time and is searching for an insurance carrier. Without child care insurance, the facility must have a form (LIC 282) in each child's file. However, it was missing from all the children’s files. Therefore, the facility will receive a deficiency.
A review of five children’s files showed that all records were complete. Infant sleep logs for napping infants, which include the time and person checking on the infants, were reviewed and found to be completed.
A review of S1’s and S2 files showed that both of their Pediatric First Aid/CPR and Mandated Reporter Training certificates are still current.
