LPA and the director toured the facility inside and outside, and the floor and yard plan were verified. Census was taken in individual classrooms. The overall census observed was 48 preschool children and 7 staff members. During the inspection it was determined the facility is operating within its licensed capacity and within compliance of staff to child ratios. Facility hours are 6:30a.m.- 6p.m., Monday through Friday.

A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

During the inspection of the indoor activity space, items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, and medications) were observed to be stored out of the reach of children.
