A Required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), M. Augustin. A review of staff records on 05/26/2022 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. There is currently one adult living in the home. Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. The Licensee (LS) and one staff (S1) were supervising five children and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. No children were observed left in any parked vehicle. The facility’s operating hours are 6:00am to 8:00pm, Mon–Fri. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are three bedrooms, garage and shed in the backyard and were made inaccessible by plastic doorknob covers and children’s safety gates. The on limits area consist of one bedroom, the living and family rooms, kitchen/dining area, and the backyard. The home was clean and orderly and was at a comfortable indoor temperature. The fireplace in the family room was made inaccessible with a wooden board and several Tote boxes. There were safe toys and equipment available for children. There is a working telephone in the home. Items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) were stored out of the reach of children. There is a functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors; and a fully charged fire extinguisher rated at least 2A10BC. Poison(s) were key locked in the outdoor shed. The Licensee stated there were no firearm(s) or other dangerous weapons stored on site.
