On 04/07/2023 at 9:30am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christina Uribe, met with licensee Hallouma Ghrairi for an UNANNOUNCED ANNUAL INSPECTION . No other individuals were present at the time of the inspection. Upon arrival LPA provided licensee a copy of the Entrance Checklist (LIC 126). The home was toured to conduct a Health and Safety Inspection. The facility currently plans on operating Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:30pm. The licensee does not currently operate her Family Child Care Home as she does not have any clients and is working with her local Resource & Referral Agency to build a clientele. While actively working to gain enrollment, the licensee is currently working outside of the home. Until then the licensee will remain on active status with her license. The home is a two story home with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, and kitchen. LPA observed the home to be neat and clean with central heating and ventilation for safety and comfort. All on/off-limit areas are consistent with the facility's pre-licensing reports. The home is located in the Verve Apartment Complex. The OFF-LIMIT AREAS are the upstairs bedroom and upstairs bathroom and are inaccessible to children by locked doors, safety gates and visual supervision. The ON-LIMIT AREAS are the kitchen, living room, downstairs bathroom, & downstairs bedroom. The facility's apartment complex does have a communal outdoor pool and game room for children located on the premises, however, the licensee will not be utilizing either of these spaces at any time for her day care. All outdoor activities will take place on the licensee's porch or a nearby park within walking distance. Licensee understands her responsibility for 100% supervision during these times outside of the home.
