Handwashing
The licensor arrived at the home for a visit, and the Educator's husband answered the door, holding a child in his arms. He informed the licensor that the Educator was closed for the day and stated that the child he was holding was his nephew, while the infant crying inside the home was his niece. The licensor entered the house to confirm that these were the only children present and discovered the Educator in a bedroom with three other childcare children. Although the Educator was open and caring for four children, she did not want the visit to occur, so she attempted to make it seem as if she was closed. She instructed the household member to provide false and misleading information to the Department to avoid the licensing visit.
