  102423(a)(2) · Personal Rights – “…Each child receiving services from a family childcare home shall have certain rights that shall not be waived or abridged by the licensee regardless of consent or authorization from the child's authorized representative. These rights include …To receive safe … accommodations ..." This Licensee and LPA reviewed the “Safety for Your Child: Birth to 6 Months” informational flier from HealthyChild.Org. Licensee acknowledges that infants left unattended on the sofa may fall off of that sofa. Licensee agreed never to leave any infants unattended

  both the provider and witnesses state an infant was left unattended on the living room sofa in the witnesses’ presence. Based on interviews, the Licensee failed to ensure the child received safe accommodations which poses as a potential risk to children in care on any sofas, furniture, chairs, beds and/or changing tables. Licensee provided LPA with a signed statement confirming that she will not leave infants unattended on any sofas, furniture, chairs, beds and/or changing tables. This deficiency has been cleared.
