Operator did not provide a physically safe and healthy indoor and outdoor environment that meets the developmental needs of the children in care. A large, upholstered chair located in the space designated for childcare has an 8-inch tear at the front of the right arm, exposing cushion filling, creating a potential choking hazard. On the playground, two holes were observed (one on the left and one on the right side) beneath the fencing behind chicken house, allowing the children access to three potbellied pigs. A plastic bag and long piece of thin, orange rope was observed on the ground to the left of the chicken house near the potbellied pigs. Plastic weed block was observed emerging from the ground to the left of the house and stairway to the deck by the air conditioning unit presenting a potential choking hazard. The space between each step leading up to the deck measuring 6 ¼ inches, creating a potential entrapment hazard. The spaces between the first and second rails (from the bottom on the left and right sides) of the stairs leading to the deck measured 7 inches, creating a potential entrapment hazard. Two triangular spaces beneath the stairs on the right side (going up the stairs) above and below the lattice measured 7 ½ x 14 inches and 5 x 6 inches respectively, creating a potential entrapment hazard. Two areas of lattice at the base of the deck were observed to be pointed and sharp to the touch. The metal mesh fencing to the right of the playground (facing away from the home) had become detached from the fence posts in two areas. The plastic connectors connecting a plastic bridge on a nonstationary play structure on the playground were observed to be cracked and in disrepair. The connector on the back was sharp to the touch and presented a potential pinching hazard. The lid to a green turtle sandbox located on the back deck of the home (used for play for toddlers) was observed to be cracked and sharp to the touch. A large plastic bin of broken toys was observed on the playground next to the stairs to the deck. A crawl space with a wooden door leading under the home was observed to have a lock, but the lock was unlocked. The lower swing set located in the grassy area was observed to have two holes on the front left pole (facing away from the home) which were ¼ inch in diameter and sharp to the touch around the edges.
