On 02/22/2024 at 1:45 PM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Sikia Blue conducted an unannounced random inspection for Giggles preschool. LPA met with designated facility Director, Carmen Durand. This is a preschool program licensed for 24 children which operates Monday – Friday from 7:30 AM – 6:00 PM. There are 26 children currently enrolled and 21 children in care today.

LPA S. Blue began facility tour and all areas identified on the facility sketch were inspected. LPA observed the facility to be clean, safe, sanitary and in good repair.

All toilets and hand washing facilities are in safe and sanitary operating conditions. All materials and surfaces accessible to children are toxic free. Currently, a corner of the classroom is used as an isolation area away from other children in care.

Snack menus were reviewed. All kitchen, food preparation, and storage areas are clean, free of litter, rubbish, and rodents/vermin. There is drinking water available in all indoor classrooms in water jugs and individual water bottles are brought from home and taken outdoors when children are playing outside.
