Inspector Notes
A Subsidy Health and Safety Inspection was conducted on Wednesday, June 28, 2023, to review supplemental health and safety requirements. The inspector was on site from 9:50am to approximately 12:05pm. During the inspection, there were a total of ten children in care, totaling 18 points, in the direct care of one caregiver. Upon arrival, the children were observed watching television in a designated space on the first floor of the family day home. Later, the children were observed transitioning to their designated space downstairs. The children were observed taking bathroom breaks, during free-play, and playing outside. All areas used for childcare were inspected. The family day home has age and stage appropriate materials and supplies. The caregiver was observed having positive interactions with the children in care. The first aid kit and non-emergency supplies were inspected and found complete. Per the provider, there are no pets in the home, no firearms, transportation is not provided, and medication is not administered at this time. Two caregivers' records and five children's records were reviewed.
A licensing inspection was also conducted this date; the two inspections combined cover all subsidy health and safety requirements. Only subsidy requirements that are not covered in licensing standards are reviewed during this supplemental inspection. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
