Name of Operation: TAYLOR'S HOME DAY CARE Facility ID: 60001548 Consultant: RESHA WASHINGTON Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 2/25/2026 Number Present: 11 Completed Date: 2/25/2026 Age: From 0 To 4 Total Minutes: 360 Time In: 10:30 AM Time Out: 04:30 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Annual Comp Full Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to monitor the facility for all applicable child care requirements during an Annual Compliance visit. The last Annual Compliance visit was conducted on March 04, 2025. The facility is currently operating with a Four Star Rated License issued on June 14, 2017 and had an eighteen (18) month compliance history score of 94% prior to today’s visit. The April 2025 Child Care Center Item Number Listing and the March 2023 Annual Compliance Checklist were used to monitor today. Upon arrival I was greeted at the primary entrance of the program by Ms. S. Taylor, owner/operator, where I explained the purpose of today’s visit. She granted me entry into the program, where she was observed present with Ms. Si. Taylor, a member of the staff, and eleven (11) children. Ms. S. Taylor shared that she had recently had an increase in enrollment and was expecting the arrival of an additional staff person shortly, as she had recently hired a previous employee on an ‘as needed’ basis. I, then, inquired about the program’s current enrollment and was informed that there are twelve (12) preschool-aged children enrolled on first shift and there are no children enrolled on the program’s second shift. A walk-through of the program was then conducted. One (1) licensed childcare space, the program’s kitchen utilized to prepare meals, the program’s bathroom utilized by enrolled children, the outdoor learning environment and areas adjacent these spaces were monitored. Each was found to be in compliance. Arrival and departure times were monitored during today’s visit. It was observed that while there were twelve (12) children observed present only six (6) had been signed in for the day. This information was shared with Ms. S. Taylor who informed me that nine (9) of the twelve (12) enrolled children were present but two of the children in care were related to her. I reminded Ms. Taylor that there needs to be accurate documentation on hand that accounts for all children present and if additional children, even those that are related to her, need to be included on that documentation and they need to have all required program-related on file. I also reminded Ms. Taylor that her program is currently approved for a capacity of no more than twelve (12) children and if all enrolled children are present for the day those children that are related to her may not be in the child care space. She stated that she understood and was then observed updating the daily attendance sheet to reflect the current number of children in care. Hazardous products were observed to be stored as required. Program records were monitored. Monthly fire drills, monthly outdoor inspections and emergency drills were each observed to be documented and completed as required. Emergency medications were monitored. It was observed that one (1) enrolled child had a documented chronic medical condition requiring life-saving medication to be stored onsite. The medication was observed to be present but the accompanying Permission to Administer form was observed to not be completed in its entirety including the expiration of the medication and specifics information on how/when the medication should be administered. The facility does not provide transportation, but a vehicle was observed onsite and available for emergency use. Staff files were monitored during today’s visit for the two (2) veteran staff members and one (1) recently hired returning staff member. It was observed that neither staff member had a recently completed Emergency Information form dated within the last twelve (12) months. It was also observed that the recently hired staff member did not have documentation on file of reviewing/receiving a job description, or reviewing the program’s Shaken Baby policy. Ms. Taylor was also reminded that this returning staff member must complete reorientation of any updated policies and all specialized trainings including First Aid/CPR training, IT-SIDS training and Health & Safety Trainings within the required timeframes. It was also during this discussion that Ms. Taylor was informed that she was due to successfully complete her five year renewal of the Recognizing Maltreatment training in September 2025 but there was no documentation on file that had occurred. Individual annual training requirements were then monitored and Ms. Taylor was informed that Ms. Si. Taylor had met her requirement of completing ten (10) annual hours but she must complete an additional four and a half (4.5) in-service training hours prior to her anniversary to meet her annual requirement of eight (8) and remain in compliance.
