25 | On 10/10/24, at 10:05 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced Annual Random inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Juanetta Perkins, 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 house is a 3-bedroom and 2-bathroom single story home. The home's living room, backyard, and one bathroom are used for child care services, while the remainder of the home is excluded (three bedrooms, sun-room, and master bathroom). At the time of the inspection, six children were present, as well as the Licensee’s mother (a staff assistant cleared and on facility roster).
LPA observed the FCCH to be clean and orderly. The bathroom, utilized for care, is clean and free of toxins. Additionally, the LPA observed personal medication in a secure lock box in one of the bedrooms inaccessible to children in care. Sharps were observed in the kitchen area on a cabinet out of reach of children. Moreover, cleaning compounds were observed in the garage of the FCCH in an elevated area inaccessible to children in care.
LPA observed age-appropriate toys, books, furnishings, and other equipment throughout the living room of the FCCH. Importantly to note, the hallway (areas off-limits to children in care) contains a secure child safety gate. The Licensee currently has four small dogs in the home that have occasional interactions with the children. The Licensee confirmed that all dogs vaccination records are up to date.
LPA observed licensing forms and documents posted prominently to a bulletin board at the entry of the home. LPA observed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the FCCH. The smoke detector was tested at 10:25 AM, while the carbon monoxide detector was tested at 10:24 AM. Both detectors were found to be operational. LPA also observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH which was last serviced on 12/11/23. (CONT. 809-C, Page 2) |
