As previously stated, the backyard is accessible to children in care. The FCCH's outdoor area is enclosed by secure wooden and metal 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 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 (stone pavement and compacted dirt). Shade is provided by a wooden pergola, neighboring trees, sun sails (during the summertime), and the house itself. The Licensee attested to LPA that children are always supervised when engaged in outside activity. Licensee informed LPA that the backyard does possess a jacuzzi, however, it’s covered, weighted down by sandbags, empty, and non-operational. LPA also observed a balcony and a flight of stairs in the backyard which is blocked by a child safety gate. Licensee informed LPA that children access the backyard area through the side gate.
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 1/15/26, 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 and ammunition present within the FCCH.
The Licensee does not currently provide Incidental Medical Services (IMS) or administer medication to children in care. IMS policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02CCP.
