What Happened
LPAs conducted a case management inspection and learned through interviews that the licensee's adult daughter occasionally helps with daycare children even though she does not live in the home. Inspectors also observed a baby exersaucer, baby walker, and bouncer accessible to children, and the licensee said she was unaware those items were not allowed.
Observations
- An adult daughter who occasionally helps with daycare children was not fingerprint cleared.
- A baby exersaucer, baby walker, and bouncer were accessible to children in care.
- There were three children in care during the inspection.
