III. DESCRIPTION OF FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS
The following violations were noted during the inspection:
R 400.1907
Children's records.
(1) Prior to initial attendance, the caregiver shall obtain the
following documents:
(a) A completed child information card on a form provided by
the department or a comparable substitute approved by the
department.
Seven of seven cards reviewed were incomplete. Missing items
included complete employment, emergency contact, and
physician information.
R 400.1907
Children's records.
(1) Prior to initial attendance, the caregiver shall obtain the
2
following documents:
(b) A child in care statement/receipt using a form provided
by the department and signed by the parent certifying the
following:
(i) Receipt of a written discipline policy.
(ii) Condition of the child's health.
(iii) Receipt of a copy of the family and group child care
home rules.
(iv) Agreement as to who will provide food for the child.
(v) Acknowledgement that the assistant caregiver is 14 to
17 years of age, if applicable.
(vi) Acknowledgement that firearms are on the premises,
if applicable.
(vii) If the child care home was built prior to 1978, then
the caregiver shall inform the parents of each child in care and
all assistant caregivers of the potential presence of lead-based
paint or lead dust hazards, unless the caregiver maintains
documentation from a lead testing professional that the home is
lead safe.
Ms. Wilson was using an outdated version of the Child in Care
Statement.
R 400.1932
Home maintenance and safety.
(3) All steps, stairs, porches, and elevated structures to which
children in care have access shall be protected to prevent falls
and shall be free of ice and snow accumulation.
The stairs to the main floor were not gated.
R 400.1941
Heat-producing equipment.
(2) Combustible materials and equipment shall not be stored
within 4 feet of furnaces, other flame or heat-producing
equipment, or fuel-fired water heaters.
Combustible materials were stored within four feet of the
furnace.
Ms. Wilson lives in a single story home and both the main floor and basement are
approved for use. At the time of the inspection, Ms. Wilson was only using the
basement with the children in care.
The home sits on a spacious lot, which is not fenced. The children play in and on
3
small plastic equipment and on the house deck, under Ms. Wilson’s supervision.
There is a locked hot tub located in the yard, as well as a pool. The pool is an above
ground pool that is partially submerged into the ground. It is completely fenced and
decked. The gates are latched, which are opened from the interior pool area. Ms.
Wilson stated her intent to install a wood or plexi-glass shield to the gates as an
additional precaution. Children do not use in the pool, nor do they play in the
decked and gated pool area.
A corrective action plan was requested and approved on 12/17/2012. It is expected
that the corrective action plan be implemented within the specified time frames as
outlined in the approved plan. A follow-up evaluation may be made to verify
compliance. Should the corrections not be implemented in the specified time, it may
be necessary to reevaluate the status of your license.
IV. RECOMMENDATION
I recommend issuance of a certificate of registration to this child care family home
(capacity 1-6).
