Violations
3Based on observation, areas and furnishings of the family day home, inside and outside, were
not maintained in a clean, safe, and operable condition.
Evidence:

have a working filtration system.
2. The outside deck, identified as the play area for children in care, had a glass top coffee table that had a small rug on it lined up along the railing. The table gave access to children to be able to climb up and over the rail of the deck and posed a risk of cutting a child if broken.
3. The deck railing had a splintered piece of wood that was raised above the surface that could snag the skin of a child in care. A floorboard also had splintered wood.
