Facility-requested visit·January 6, 2026

On 1/06/26 at 12:07pm Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Erica Laird conducted a case management facility inspection and met with licensee. This inspection was in response to an application for increased capacity that was received by the Department 11/24/2025. The licensee has requested a capacity increase to 14 children. Fire clearance was granted on 12/15/25. The LPA toured the facility's indoor and outdoor areas. The following areas will be off limits to children: kitchen, laundry room, garage, corner bedroom, master bedroom/bathroom, backyard storage sheds. These areas have been made inaccessible by means of door knob cover, gates, and locks. Poisons are locked in the garage. The home is equipped with a working smoke detector and fire extinguisher rated at least 2A10BC. The children will use the backyard as the outdoor play area. The backyard is completely fenced. There is no pool, spa, pond, fountain, or any other body of water on the premises. The LPA reviewed the ratio's for a large license and the licensee acknowledged she understood the ratio requirements. The LPA also reviewed the Safe Sleep requirements with provider. Based on the space/accommodations available at this facility and the fire marshal granting their approval for the 14 children, the capacity increase request is granted. LPA will process this capacity increase and mail an updated license to reflect this capacity change to 14 children. An exit interview was conducted with licensee. Notice of Site visit was provided and shall remain posted for 30 days.
