Comments:
An unannounced 60 day follow up inspection was conducted on March 14, 2023 from approximately 11:30 am to 12:45 pm. There were 5 children in attendance. 1 provider record, and 6 children?s records were reviewed. All areas of the home were observed and areas where the children are cared for were inspected.
Interviews were held with the provider throughout the inspection. The designated areas for childcare were deemed appropriate and are equipped with age appropriate toys to meet the needs of the children. Children were observed taking a nap, playing in the playroom, listening to music, and eating lunch, while the licensing inspector was at the home.

Please specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Your plan of correction should contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard(s), 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again, and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measure(s).
Based on observation, documentation review, and interview, the provider failed to ensure compliance with the terms of the current license. Evidence: The current license states that the capacity is 5 children. Documentation and records review indicated that child #5, date of enrollment 03/06/23, and a sibling of child #3, child #4, and child #6, regularly attends. The provider stated that child #5 was absent that day. The provider acknowledged that there were several days that there were more than 5 children in attendance.
Plan of Correction:
Per the provider "as for the extra child I am now down to only 5."
