| Findings: Provider has been using the 'den' room for infant sleeping. This room has previously been approved for use, but is not currently approved by the fire marshal's office. LS observed the room during inspection and has no objection to approving the room for use again once fire marshal's office has given their approval. In the meantime, please use one of the other rooms approved for sleep for this child. Currently, rooms approved for sleeping are the upstairs living room, the downstairs living room and the other two bedrooms. LS strongly recommends using one of the rooms upstairs as opposed to having children on both levels. LS will request a new space fire inspection. Please send written plan of correction to LS. | |||
