Description: Alberta Gray is a Registered Family Child Care Home in Owings MD, with a maximum capacity of 8 children. The home-based daycare service helps with children in the age range of 0-23 Months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, 5 years to 12 years.

Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

| Findings: During the inspection, six electrical sockets were found to be uncapped and not in use. When this was brought to the attention of the Provider, she was only able to cap one of them. Please ensure all of the electrical sockets are capped, used or no longer in the childcare space. Three of the sockets are in the child care space due to a Christmas tree being lit with an electrical cord with multiple sockets exposed. Please provide a picture to OCC of the sockets being used or capped and the removal of the electrical cord for the Christmas tree for the correction of this non-compliance. | |||
| 2023-12-20 | Mandatory Review | 13A.15.06.03A | Open |
| Findings: The FCC home must have an approved substitute. Provider has submitted fingerprints and a notarized release that are all cleared. However, the identified substitute cannot yet be approved to work as a substitute because a medical has not been submitted. The proposed substitute had previously told this Licensing Specialist that she had a doctor's appointment in December, but OCC has not yet received the medical form from her. Therefore, the proposed substitute cannot be approved until all documents are received and approved. This Provider has been without an approved substitute since 12/14/2022, which is over one year. Please resolve this as soon as possible by submitting the proposed substitute's medical form or submit the necessary documents for another substitute. | |||

| Findings: During an unannounced follow-up visit from the Complaint Inspection, it was found that there were two children under the age of two years old present. One child is 6 months old and the other child is 1 year and 6 months old. Provider's registration (revised on 01/07/2021), which is clearly posted, restricts the FCC home to having only one child under the age of two at any one time. When informed that one of the children had to go home now, Ms. Kimberly Gray (the owner's adult daughter) stated that she would take the 6 month old child with her because he is her grandson. At this time, the Provider stated that she did not know that she was restricted. Provider stated that she thought she could have two children under the age of two years old. Provider has a pack-n-play for the 6 month old and the 1 year 6 month old child sleeps on a cot. Provider requested to have her registration revised to having two children under the age of two again. In consultation with the supervisor, this will be granted. Therefore, this non-compliance will be corrected by this action. | |||
