25 | On 10/12/23 at 9am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Samantha Clenista conducted an announced Pre-licensing follow-up inspection. Upon arrival, LPA met with Facility Representatives, Diane Prospero (Children’s Paradise Director of Child Development) and newly assigned center director, Vanessa Sanchez. The purpose of this visit is to follow-up on corrections listed during LPA Clenista’s inspection dated 10/10/23.
LPA took a tour of the facility per facility sketch to ensure the corrections were met. LPA observed the following corrections to be met during inspection: proof of adding more cushioning (wood chips) under the climbing play structures located on the upper playground and making the barrier dividing the multipurpose room sturdier. The only items still pending prior to licensure are obtaining an approved shared playground waiver for the school-aged children to share the upper preschool playground, approved waiver for the preschool to share the school-aged indoor activity space at separate times and submit updated LIC200A reflecting 137 capacity (41 toddlers and 96 preschoolers) which facility representatives stated will be emailed to LPA once completed. LPA also reinspected all classrooms and bathrooms and clarified with facility representatives what sinks/toilets are available for children use. There are a total of 8 toilets and 12 sinks available for children.
Once all remaining corrections are obtained, reviewed and after conducting a final file review, a preschool license for 41 toddlers (18-36 months) in Room 1 & 2 and 96 preschoolers (ages 2-K) in Rooms 5, 6, 7 and both sides of the multipurpose room may be granted. |
