25 | A Required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), M. Augustin. A review of staff records on 01/13/2023 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 are currently two adults 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. LPA did not observe any children in care, and the facility was 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 7:00PM, Mon–Fri. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are the entire second floor of the home, pantry on the first floor, garage, and the right side of home in the backyard and were made inaccessible by door latching devices and children's safety gates. The on limits areas included the family/living room, dining room, kitchen and a section of the back yard. The stairs/staircase were barricaded by a child safety gate. The home was clean and orderly and was at a comfortable indoor temperature. There were safe toys and equipment available for children. There is a working telephone in the home. Licensee’s pediatric CPR/First Aid certification expire on 01/23/23. 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 that is rated at least 2A10BC. Poison(s) were stored in a shed in the backyard. The facility conducted an emergency disaster drill on 09/06/22. The facility roster of the children in care was reviewed and appeared to be complete. (Continue to LIC 809-C) |
