32 | 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 9/2/24. 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 and wire fencing 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 toys, play structures, 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 (dirt, concrete pavement, and artificial turf). LPA observed one shed in the backyard that is a work space for the Licensee's daughter. Prior to children playing in the backyard, the Licensee attested that they make sure the area is clean and safe for children in care. The Licensee also 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. LPA observed 1 smaller dog at the FCCH. While the Licensee informed the LPA that the dog doesn't have interactions with children in care, the dog's vaccinations are up to date. Licensee also informed LPA that the backyard houses pigs, chickens, and quail in secure pins. Licensee informed LPA that children have occasional interactions with said animals. LPA reminded Licensee to make sure proper sanitation protocols are completed following such interactions.
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 11/30/24, 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. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at: http://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm.
