Immunizations and exempt children

The provider does not have a system in which she solicits for and updates children's information annually. Therefore, children who have been enrolled for more than one year do not have current immunization records and they are likely outdated.

Plastic gloves were observed to be accessible to children in an unlatched/locked drawer in bathroom vanity. The stairs to the unlicensed portion of the home have a gate but the gate was not in place when this licensor began the inspection. Electrical cord for keyboard was observed plugged into outlet cover that turns a two outlet into a four outlet one.

The front door and garage door used to be alarmed but the alarms were not functioning today. The sliding glass door to the backyard was not alarmed and does not make a noise when opened. This licensor observed the provider's dog "kissing" a toddler age child by licking his mouth and neither the provider or her assistant were in the room. I called the animal away from the child.

Training requirements

WAC 110-300-0106(12) · Serious

Nataliia Shyshak has not completed Child Care Basics and was working alone on the premises with 11 children when I arrived today. Although Tyukalo reports that Shyshak has completed Safe Sleep training she was unable to produce verification of that today and it is not showing in MERIT. Although Tyukalo reports that Shyshak has a current food handler's permit, she was unable to produce verification of that today and it is not showing in MERIT. Shyshak assisted Tyukalo with serving the children lunch today. Neither Nathasha Rosnoslik nor provider Valentina Kyukalo have completed BBP training on an annual basis. Valentina Kyukalo's Safe Sleep training expired in 2022. She has not served an infant since that time so did not think she needed to renew her training.

Emergency preparation and exiting

WAC 110-300-0166(3)(a) · Serious

When this licensor went outiside to retrieve something from my car, I observed that the deadbolt to the main front door was engaged and it did not automatically unlock when the doorlatch was engaged.
