R 400.1936 Animals and Pets. (1) A licensee shall notify parents of any animals and pets in the home. 4

During the 06/17/2022 on-site inspection, I observed the Ms. Bruzdowski's two dogs. The first is a Boxer that is mixed with either American Bull Dog or Pit, the family is not certain, named Tator Tot. The second dog is a Berne doodle, named Coco. Ms. Bruzdowski admitted that Coco ended up being a larger dog than they imagined. Ms. Bruzdowski has one cat, named Harley. Ms. Bruzdowski admitted that the dogs are "door aggressive" and will bark when the doorbell is rung or someone comes into the home. She will place the dogs behind the gate in the kitchen/living room area, or in a bedroom, or outside when someone enters the home. It has been these consultants experience that Ms. Bruzdowski puts the dogs outside when I have been to her home. Ms. Bruzdowski described the dogs to be good with the children. Ms. Bruzdowski does allow the dogs to interact with the children and reports she has not had a reason not to. She reports to separating the dogs from the children when they are eating and this consultant observed their food and water bowls to not be accessible to child care children during the on-site inspection. Regarding child receiving scratches from the pets, Ms. Bruzdowski has not witnessed any incidents of this, nor have any parents mentioned anything concerning scratches to her. Ms. Bruzdowski reported that she has seven children currently enrolled in her child care. I reviewed the child in care statement and parent handbook. Both documents indicate that there are pets in the home. A review of the documents confirmed that child care parents had signed the child in care statement, as well as a receipt of receiving the parent handbook. When I spoke to Child A's Mother and Child B's Guardian on 08/08/2022, neither had expressed concerns regarding the pets or the children receiving unexplained scratches.
