25 | A case management visit was conducted on 8/23/2022 at 9:15am by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Emilia Grisak. LPA met with Child Development Coordinator Robyn Solansky. The licensee is requesting to add a toddler component for 32 toddlers, ages 18 months – 36 months to the existing preschool component without increasing capacity. The Child Development Coordinator was reminded that no child in the toddler program shall be placed in the preschool program before the age of 30 months without written permission from the child's authorized representative.
The toddler program will operate Monday-Friday, 7:30am to 5:00pm. The facility has a total of 8 classrooms. The toddler program will operate in Classroom #4 and facility plans on eventually using Classroom #5 as a toddler room also. The indoor and outdoor activity spaces were toured, and the Facility Sketch was verified. All meals are delivered from Nelson Ave school. Children will nap on mats in the classroom. The isolation area for sick children is located in the office area. Child Development Coordinator stated that enough staff will be available to cover teacher:child ratios.
The toddler playground is fully fenced and physically separate from the outdoor play area used by preschool children. There is grass to absorb falls. There will be age appropriate toys available for outdoor use. There is no pool, spa, pond, fountain, or any other body of water on the premises. Poisons and cleaning supplies are locked in a janitorial closet or in a locked cabinet in staff room. There is safe and age-appropriate furniture, toys, and play equipment available for children. |
