On 12/4/24, at 9:35 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced Annual Random inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Jasmine Alvarez-Hernandez, 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 3-bedroom and 2-bathroom single-story house. The FCCH only utilizes the living room, guest bathroom, guest bedroom (converted playroom), and backyard area. The remainder of the home is excluded: 2 additional bedrooms, 1 additional bathroom, front yard, and garage. At the time of the inspection, there were 6 kids present, along with one additional staff member, and the Licensee's Husband (all cleared and associated).

LPA observed the FCCH to be orderly and clean. The bathroom, utilized for childcare services, is clean and free of toxins. Each bathroom cabinet contains items that aren't a danger to children in care. Cleaning compounds along with sharps were observed in the kitchen area in inaccessible locations. Cleaning compounds were stored in a secure cabinet beneath the sink. Sharps were stored in an elevated cabinet. Additional kitchen cabinets were observed to be inaccessible due to child safety latches. Personal medication is stored in an elevated cabinet in the hallway area. The Licensee informed the LPA that the FCCH possesses a First Aid Kit.

LPA observed age-appropriate books, toys, and other furnishings throughout the interior of the FCCH.

LPA observed appropriate licensing forms and documents posted prominently to a wall in the entry area of the FCCH. LPA observed an electric fireplace in the living room of the FCCH that is not used during day care hours. LPA also observed a combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector within the FCCH. At 9:59 AM, the combination carbon monoxide and smoke detector was tested. The detector was found to be operational.

LPA also observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH, which was last purchased on 12/4/24. LPA (CONT. 809-C, Page 2)

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 9/11/24.

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 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 (artificial turf and concrete pavement). Prior to permitting children to play outside, the Licensee attested that they make sure the area is safe and rid of any hazardous items 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 2 larger dogs at the FCCH within the garage. The Licensee informed the LPA that the dogs do not have interactions with children in care, however, they are up to date on their vaccinations.



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 9/25/26, 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 or ammunition present within the FCCH.

The Licensee does currently provide Incidental Medical Services (IMS) and administers 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.
