25 | On 7/30/25, at 9:20 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced annual random inspection visit of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Kimberly Coles, Licensee of the FCCH, and explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. The LPA, in the company of Licensee, toured the interior and exterior of the FCCH. The home is a 5 bedroom and 4 bathroom single story home. The areas that are accessible for day care children are as follows: family room (main day care room), living room, dining room, kitchen, two bathrooms, two guest bedrooms, and backyard. The remainder of the home is excluded from childcare services. At the time of the inspection, LPA observed 11 day care children present, 1 of whom was an infant. LPA also observed the Licensee's husband (assistant) present on site at the time of the inspection (cleared and associated) and three other assistants (two of whom were cleared and associated). Importantly to note, an assistant, one of the Licensee's adult daughters, left the day care with a child of her own during the inspection which left the amount of children at 10. Towards the latter part of the inspection, LPA observed an additional biological child (underage) of the Licensee arrive at the FCCH.
LPA observed the FCCH to be clean and orderly. The bathrooms, utilized for childcare, are clean and free of toxins. LPA observed sharps stored on an elevated shelf in the kitchen. Family medication is stored in an elevated cabinet in the kitchen. No children currently require medication. Primary cleaning solutions are stored in the laundry room and in the kitchen beneath the sink in a locked cabinet.
LPA observed age-appropriate toys, furnishings, and equipment throughout the interior of the FCCH. In the main day care room, LPA observed a number of storage compartments each of which contained items related to the day care. In the living room, LPA observed a fireplace that was free of any wood or objects that could be hazardous to children in care. Licensee informed LPA that the fireplace does not work.
