This is the FCCH’s annual compliance visit. I used a checklist to assist me with the visit. This FCCH earned a Five Star License on May 6, 2022. As of March 5, 2024, the compliance history for this FCCH is 100%. Fire drills and Playground inspections were current and accessible. I used the Annual Compliance Monitoring Checklist for FCCH and the FCCH Item Number Listing (DCD 0375) as basic tools to assess compliance with applicable child care requirements pertinent to this FCCH. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by you, Ms. Lisa Brockman, owner of this family child care home. You told me you do not have guns or weapons in the home. You do not provide any type of transportation. You have hired Ms. Pam Wilkes as additional caregiver due to an upcoming surgery. The childcare room has centers, books, toys, and activities. The playground is well shaded, and you have toys for outdoor play. There are two children enrolled, and two children were present today. The children were painting an art project when I arrived. The children washed their hands and transitioned to lunch and rest time. All interactions I observed were warm and caring. I reviewed Ms. Brockman and Ms. Wilkes Verification of Information. Both need to take Child Maltreatment training. I helped Ms. Brockman locate the website for the training. Ms. Wilkes, the additional caregiver must have a negative TB test on file. To verify compliance with specific requirements, provider and additional caregiver information was recorded onto the Verification Form for FCCH and both forms were signed. Ms. Brockman completed the FCCH and Centers Located in a Residence Operator’s Statements of Responsibility form. I received the signed forms during today’s visit. Your signature on these forms will serve as verification that the information provided is accurate and complete. I reviewed the children’s files and both children need a copy of the medical report for their file. I reviewed program files, inspections, and emergency drills. I observed two items of non-compliance today.
