32 | LPA observed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the FCCH. At 1:22 PM, the carbon monoxide detector was tested, while at 1:24 PM the smoke detector was tested. Both detectors were found to be operational.
LPA also observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH, which was last serviced on 10/23/24. LPA reminded the Licensee to service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher annually. LPA reviewed the FCCH's fire/disaster drill log. The most recent fire drill occurred on 6/6/24. Licensee informed LPA that the FCCH conducts disaster drills every six months.
As noted at the beginning of the report, the backyard is accessible to children in care. The FCCH's backyard is enclosed by secure wooden fencing and a stucco wall throughout. The fence’s entry/exit points are secure. As is the case with the interior of the FCCH, the outdoor area has age-appropriate play structures, toys, and other equipment throughout the area that can afford for robust childcare services. Licensee was reminded to replace toys and play equipment which start to degrade or are not in good repair. The footing of the exterior is made up of varying surfaces (concrete pavement, dirt, artificial turf, and rocks). LPA observed a locked shed in the backyard that contains construction and party supplies. LPA also observed two refrigerators that possess food for personal consumption and children's consumption. The Licensee attested to LPA that children are always supervised when engaged in outside activity. LPA confirmed that the Licensee does not have any bodies of water on site. There are five smaller sized dogs present at the FCCH. While only one of the five dogs has interactions with children, each of the dog's vaccinations are up to date as confirmed by the Licensee. The one dog that does have interactions with kids is an emotional support pet.
LPA reviewed children's records. The records are current, complete, and possessed emergency contact information and immunization records, among other relevant licensing documents. The Licensee's records were also reviewed. The Licensee’s CPR/First Aid Training (EMSA approved), expiring on 1/1/25, and their Mandated Reporter Training, expiring on 8/8/26, is current and complete as are other relevant licensing documents and forms. Licensee was reminded to renew certifications and training prior to expirations. The Licensee informed LPA that there are no firearms or ammunition present within the FCCH.
The Licensee does not currently administer medication or provide Incidental Medical Services (IMS) to children in care. IMS policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02CCP. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department.
