Curriculum / Routine / Structure
Licensor reviewed 2 of the children's records. Neither of the records were complete. The 1st had no signature on pg. 6 of the enrollment packet, under basic transport. The 2nd had an out of date physical and no evidence of lead testing. Educator also has a grandchild that was in the home the day of the visit and she does not have a record for him.
Educator initially stated she did not complete the EEC Essentials 2.0 training yet. She then stated she thinks she did complete the training. However, Educator was not able to produce the training certificate to verify that she completed it.
Educator had a 4 month old infant in a pack and play throughout the entire time that Educator was in the home and did not check on the child once.
There is 1 child in the program with a[REDACTED] who is prescribed [REDACTED] This information is posted in the program, as is required by regulations. However, Educator did not have a cover sheet over the paperwork to protect the child's confidentiality.
Educator does not transport the childcare children in her vehicle. However, she does go for walks with the children. There is 1 child whose parents signed that they do not want their child taken off the premises, in the Basis Transport section of the enrollment packet. There is another child whose parents did not sign any part of the Basic Transport section, so Educator also does not have permission to take that child off the premises.
Educator stated she does not have a first aid kit. She reported it was left outside and got wet. Tested the combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that are hard wired throughout the home, and they worked properly.
Licensor was in the program for the monitoring visit for over an hour. During that entire time, Educator kept a 4 month old Infant in a pack and play, Educator also kept a 10 month old infant in a booster seat.
For curriculum, Educator stated the daily schedule includes reading, outdoor time, lunch, nap time, and then more outdoor time. Educator did not speak of doing any work with letters, numbers, colors, shapes, etc. There was no evidence in the program of any curriculum being completed.
UPDATE FROM VISIT ON 10/24/24: ** The paint on the rear deck has been scraped and the deck has been stained, eliminating the peeling paint. Educator also has installed a fence around the outdoor playspace in the back yard. However, there is 1 piece of fencing that is raised up and the gap between the bottom of the fence and the ground has created an entrapment hazard. Also, there is a large rock (taller than the fencing) that has a ladder leaning against it. If a child were to climb the ladder to the top of the rock, they would be able to jump over the fence to the other side. This is a hazard and a danger.

Licensor inspected all of the licensed, indoor space during the monitoring visit, as well as the outdoor playspace. The following hazards were observed: **LIVINGROOM** - outlets not covered **DININGROOM** - outlet not covered **BEDROOM** - outlets not covered **PLAYROOM** - outlets not covered **KITCHEN** - sharpies, beaded necklace, cords in the drawer to the right of the stove, and similar hazards in the left most drawer. **MUDROOM** - no hazards **BATHROOM** - no hazards **OUTSIDE** - peeling paint on small porch and also on larger deck and railing in the back of the home. The fencing that is currently in place in the back yard is insufficient as it is not 4ft high and it does not extent on all sides, so there is no truly enclosed area. Until an approved fence is put in place, the back yard is not approved outdoor space.

Licensor discussed with Educator the need for a list to be posted of all emergency or lifesaving medications, including but not limited to epinephrine auto-injectors, inhalers, and anti-seizure medications that specifies to which child they belong.

Napping materials, such as blankets, need to be stored individually so they are not touching each other, in order to avoid cross contamination.

Children's Records - R Apr 2025
There are 6 children currently enrolled in the program. Educator stated [REDACTED]. All 6 of the enrolled children are under [REDACTED]. On any given day, Educator has either 4 or 5 children under [REDACTED] in attendance. Licensor made it clear that this is against regulations as there can only be a maximum of 3 children present under 2 years of age, and 1 of those children has to be at least 15 months old and walking.
Educator could not locate the Evacuation Logs (fire drills) during the virtual visit. She stated she would email them to Licensor, but Licensor did not receive any email.
Educator tracks attendance on her computer and puts the time of arrival and departure for each child daily. She then prints the forms individually for each child. Licensor expressed concern around this method of tracking attendance as Educator simply has the same time written in for each day, with no variation. There was also one day when a child was dropped off, but then Educator was informed the child had [REDACTED] so she had the parents pick up the child. However, in the child's attendance, the child was marked as being present for the entire day. This method of tracking attendance does not seem to be entirely accurate.
Educator has the required emergency numbers/information posted on a bulletin board in the bedroom. However, she needs to add an emergency back up person.
Educator has installed a new play structure in the back yard. The fallzone is not sufficient as it does not extend 6 ft out in every direction. The fallzone will need to be completed before the childcare children can use the play structure. There is a trampoline in the yard. Educator stated it is inaccessible as she has removed the ladder.
Most cleaners are stored under the sink in the kitchen, in a locked cabinet. Educator also has a bucket on the kitchen counter with additional cleaners that she uses constantly. Discussed that this bucket needs to be moved from the counter as this is considered accessible to the children.
