25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Marilou Monico, conducted an unannounced Case Management Inspection in response to licensee's request to increase the capacity from 8 to 14 children. Also present in the home were licensee's husband, her two school age children ages 5 years old, and five (5) daycare children including three (3) infants and two (2) preschool age. LPA advised licensee that children living in the home who are under 10 years old are counted in the ratio. Licensee and her husband are the adults residing in the home. Days and hours of operation are Monday thru Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM.
The indoor and outdoor areas of the home were inspected by LPA. LPA observed sufficient toys and play equipment for the day care children. Bathroom used by children was observed to be clean and in good condition. Off limit areas inside the home: entire upstairs (Bedrooms #3 & 4, bathroom, & family room), one bathroom downstairs, and garage. Off limit areas outside the home: both side yards, two storage sheds, and right side section of the backyard. There were no bodies of water observed. Per Licensee, there are no weapons in the home. LPA observed a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher, functioning carbon and smoke detectors, barricaded fireplace, gated stairs, and fenced backyard. Cleaning compounds, detergents, medications, sharp objects, and other similar items were stored inaccessible to children. LPA explained to licensee the ratio and capacity chart.
