25 | On July 21, 2022 at approximately 9:00am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Catrina Quimbo conducted an unannounced, annual inspection. During annual inspection visit, LPA also conducted capacity increase inspection. LPA met with director, Meagan Vincent, and explained the purpose of the inspection. On date of LPA's visit, preschool program was on summer break. No children or other teachers were present during LPA's inspection. The applicant is requesting to increase the capacity to 41 children, ages 3 to 5 years old.
The facility was inspected, indoors and outdoors, for health and safety hazards and measured to calculate capacity. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday 7:30am to 6:00pm. Facility is a multi-level building with two floors. Main day care areas are classrooms #1-3, operating on the first floor of the facility. Classroom #1 square footage was calculated for 519.420 sq. ft, Classroom #2 was calculated for 425.32 sq. ft, and Classroom #3 was calculated for 501.109 sq. ft. The total indoor classroom measures 1,445.849 sq. ft divided by 35 sq. ft allowing for a capacity of 41 students.
LPA observed classrooms to be clean, equipped with age appropriate toys, materials and furniture. Each classroom is appropriately ventilated with proper temperature. LPA observed all poisons, cleaning solutions and hazardous materials to be stored inaccessible to children on facility's high shelves and/or locked behind child safety locked cabinets. Storage for children's belongings are located outside the classrooms, in the hallway, that will be labeled with each child's individual names. Each classroom is equipped with a fully stocked first aid kit and fire extinguisher. Facility is also equipped with fire alarm system and carbon monoxide detectors.
Facility contains children's bathroom equipped with 3 toilets and 3 sinks, sufficient for the requested capacity. LPA observed bathrooms used for day care use to be clean and in proper working condition. Children's sinks do not provide water that is warmer than 120 degrees Fahrenheit and garbage can was observed to have a tight fitting lid.
Second floor of the building includes a multi-purpose area. The multi-purpose area is to be utilized as an additional activity space for music, gross motor classes and gathered assemblies only. Due to space being a multi-purpose area, this space is not included in total square footage/capacity. LPA observed multi-purpose area to be clean and properly ventilated.
Facility does not currently provide a food service. Per director, facility plans to provide a food service for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year that includes a third party vendor. Food service will be prepared in outside campus and delivered to facility. LPA reminded director to maintain proper food temperature when food is to be delivered. Water is made available to children indoors and outdoors with accessible water fountains and children's water bottles that are refilled at facility.
