Facility-requested visit·April 19, 2024

On 4/19/2024 at 10:30am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nicolette Cunningham conducted an unannounced inspection in response to an application for increased capacity that was received by the Department on 3/4/24. The licensee has requested a capacity increase to 14 children. A fire clearance was granted on 4/17/24. The LPA toured the facility's indoor and outdoor areas. The children use the front porch and it is fully fenced. There were no pools or other bodies of water observed in the yard. The licensee was supervising six children at the time of the visit, and was operating within capacity. 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 on 4/17/24 for 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 given to licensee to post for 30 days.
