The children use the back yard as the outdoor play area and it is fully fenced. There were no pools or other bodies of water observed in the yard. The licensee was supervising 1 child at the time of the visit, and she was operating within the limitations of her current license ratio's. 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 and Lead Exposure Testing Flyer with the licensee. Licensee's CPR/First Aid was completed and expires on 3/17/2022. Based on the space/accommodations available at this facility and the fire marshal granting their approval on 1/19/22 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.
