On 11/19/2021 at 10:46am, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA), Samantha Clenista and Saraliz Velando conducted an announced Pre-Licensing inspection. LPA’s met with Owner/Applicant, Shenea White who is also the designated Site Director. Also present was Zacari White, Applicant's husband, during inspection. The Infant Program (ages 6 weeks-24 months) will operate in Room 2. Facility has a temporary fire clearance that was granted on 11/16/2021, that will expire 3 months after clearance date. Fire clearance states that at no time shall the facility utilize the upper floor/story of the building. A tour of the facility per facility sketch was conducted.

All indoor and outdoor activity space utilized for the children were inspected and measured during inspection. The infant indoor play space measured at approximately 381.9 sq. ft., which will accommodate a total of 10 children. The outdoor playground area that Applicant stated she would like to utilize measured at approximately 456.60 sq. ft., which will accommodate no more than 6 children at one time. Facility is requesting to be licensed for 10 children. Due to limited square footage outdoors, a playground waiver to share the infant playground on a scheduled basis shall be approved prior to licensure. LPA’s obtained waiver request during inspection. The play areas for the infants, preschoolers and school aged children were observed to be physically separate. When LPA’s inspected the outdoor playground, LPA’s observed trees used for shade. Area is fenced per regulation, has age appropriate play equipment, and sufficient turf for cushioning under the slides and climbing structure. Drinking water is readily accessible via water bottles and refillable water jugs.

LPA’s observed all indoor play space to be complete with age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, napping cots, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children.
