On 12/14/2023 at 12:07pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Catherine Fernandes met with Director Ute Dawe for an Unannounced Required Inspection. There were 18 preschool age children in care with an additional five fingerprint cleared staff members. The teacher- child ratio was being met today. The center was toured for a health and safety inspection. The center operates from Monday through Friday from 8:30am–5:30pm.

The center consists of three main rooms, a reading nook, two bathrooms and a fenced in outdoor play area. The entrance to the day care is the fence. The room floors, surfaces, furniture and equipment appear to be safe, sanitary and in good repair. The heating, lighting and ventilation is adequate. The activities and toys appear to be age appropriate for the children in care. The children have their own cubbies to store personal belongings and napping equipment.


The outside play area is fully fenced with shaded areas for the children. There are two sandboxes in the play area, LPA reminded the center to cover the sandbox when center is closed. There are two play structures that has a rubber flooring for cushioning to absorb the impact from a fall.
The kitchen area was maintained in a clean manner. There is a snack current menu posted for the month. The center prepares and provides snacks to the children while in care and lunches are brought from home. All the children have personal water bottles and access to drinking water while indoors and outdoors.
There is a total of two toilets, a changing table and four sinks available for the children which are sanitary and in operational conditions.
