There are a total of 2 toilets and 4 sinks/hand washing fixtures in each classroom - total 8 toilets & 16 sinks which will accommodate the newly requested capacity of 96 preschool children. There are water dispensers in each classroom so children can have water readily available to them at all times. There are water fountains outside in the play area along with a water jug.
The approximate outside square footage for the preschool area is 10,050 which will accommodate the 96 preschool children. The preschool play area is gated, has artificial grass, bike path, and a flower bed for gardening, and an age appropriate play structure. There are 3 awnings that provide enough shade for the children. LPA observed plenty of toys that children can play with.
