Currently only 1 classroom is being used per head teacher. Each classroom was inspected. Furniture and equipment were inspected for age appropriateness and good repair.

The children’s restroom was observed to be clean and in good condition, with sufficient supplies for children to use.
Currently the Kitchen is not being used. Children bring their own snacks and lunch to the facility. Napping equipment was observed in the kitchen. However, the children currently do not nap at the facility due to the hours.

LPA observed there to be shade and adequate fencing. Drinking water is available in form of children's personal water bottles that are brought out during outdoor activity time.
