On 1/14/25, at 10:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced random inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Flor Soto-Osorio, 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 FCCH is a 4-bedroom and 2 bathroom single-story home. The FCCH utilizes a living room (converted day care room), one hallway bathroom, and backyard. The remainder of the home is excluded from childcare services (master bedroom, master bathroom, 3 guest bedrooms, front yard, laundry room, balcony, and garage). Importantly to note, excluded rooms and areas are made inaccessible via locks and child safety knobs. At the time of the inspection, 4 children were present. The Licensee's daughter was also present during the visit (cleared and associated).

LPA observed the FCCH to be orderly and clean. The hallway bathroom, utilized for childcare services, is clean, orderly, and free of toxins. Sharps, cleaning compounds, and personal medication were observed in locked and elevated kitchen cabinets. Additional cleaning supplies are kept in the house’s laundry room, an area inaccessible to children in care. The Licensee also possesses a First Aid Kit for the FCCH.

LPA observed age-appropriate books, toys, and other furnishings throughout the interior of the FCCH (day care room). LPA observed a number of storage compartments in the day care room, each of which contained childcare equipment and related paperwork.

LPA observed appropriate licensing forms and documents posted prominently to a bulletin board at the entryway of the FCCH. LPA observed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the hallway of the FCCH. At 10:41 AM, the smoke detector was tested, while at 10:40 AM the carbon monoxide 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 1/6/25. 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 8/1/24. Licensee informed LPA that the FCCH conducts disaster drills every six months.

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. 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.
