Dear Ms. Bartel:

conducted at your home on 10/28/2009. The purpose of this inspection was to
determine compliance with applicable licensing statutes and administrative rules for
Family and Group Child Care Homes.

The facility is located in a single family home between 7 Mile and Northville Road in the
city of Northville. The approved child use space is as follows:

• Family Room which provides approximately 210 square feet;
• Dining Room which provides approximately 165 square feet;
• Office which provides approximately 49 square feet.
All of these rooms are located on the main level. There are two remotely located exits
from this level. In addition, an upper level bedroom will be utilized. It provides
approximately 96 square feet of child use space. The child use space is more than

There is a bathroom on the main level designated for childcare use. The registrant is
aware that prior approval from the Department is required to provide care on any other
floor level of the home.
At the time of the inspection, developmental appropriate, varied equipment was
