On 2/13/2025 at 3:00pm, an annual inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Nicolette Cunningham. At 3:30pm the home was toured inside and outside. The licensee and assistant were supervising six children, and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. The facility’s operating hours are 24 hours with a 1 hour break, Monday–Friday. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are 2 bedrooms, laundry room, and upstairs, and the garage, and were made inaccessible by door locks. The children use the front yard as the outdoor play area and it is not fully fenced. There were no pools or other bodies of water observed.

Six children's records were reviewed at 4:00pm. Three staff records were reviewed at 4:30pm. There are currently two adults living in the home.

The following deficiency was cited: one assistant did not have a fingerprint clearance (see LIC 809D).
