“O165(3)(b) The licensor observed that floor heaters were exposed and accessible to children in the home. Specifically, the heating units located in the front room and bathroom did not have adequate protective coverings, creating a potential safety hazard. The open access to the heating compartments presents risks such as burns from direct heat exposure and injury if objects are dropped into the units. The licensor recommended installing appropriate protective mesh covers over all three floor heater openings to prevent access, reduce the risk of foreign objects entering the heating compartments, and ensure the safety of children in care within the Family Home Child Care environment.”
WAC 110-300-0165(3)(b)
“O166(3)(c) The licensor observed a hanging organizer located outside the bathroom door. The placement of the organizer may obstruct or interfere with the front exit pathway if items were to fall out or if the unit were to shift, creating a potential tripping or egress hazard. The licensee was advised to relocate or secure the hanging organizer to ensure that all exit routes remain clear and unobstructed at all times in accordance with Family Home Child Care health and safety requirements.”

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.
