“During the inspection, it was observed that two cribs had babies sleeping in them. Both cribs were fitted with tight black covers that had a zipper on top, which does not comply with WAC 110-300-0291(1)(h). These covers create complete darkness, preventing the provider from actively supervising the baby, which is not in line with the requirements of WAC 110-300-0291(1)(a). Furthermore, they hinder the ability to observe the child's skin color due to insufficient lighting, as mandated by WAC 110-300-0291(1)(d).”

Small means the smallest quarter of Seattle-area’s 1,532 licensed family homes by state-licensed capacity: 3 to 6 children. Mid-size is 7 to 11; full-size is 12, the most any Seattle-area family home holds.
The ages on the license are what the state licenses it to care for, which can be wider than the ages it takes.
