25 | On 10/6/20 at 11am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loretta Dyson conducted a case management inspection at this facility thru the FaceTime application due to COVID-19. A request for a unique waiver, to temporarily increase the preschool license by 18 for a total capacity of 99, was received for this facility. LPA met with Irina Grinshpan, the facility Executive Director. There were 12 children present. LPA conducted a health and safety inspection of the classroom to be used for the care of the additional preschoolers. Ms. Grinshpan pointed the camera around the room and focused in on things as requested by LPA. Ms. Grinshpan advised that the classroom used to be an infant classroom, and since their attendance in the infant program is down they were not using the space. LPA observed that there was sufficient lighting and age appropriate furniture, activities and equipment. The floors and surfaces appeared to be clean. LPA did not observe any hazardous items, bodies of water or medication accessible to children. There are two sinks and one toilet accessible to children inside of the classroom, and additional bathrooms outside of the classroom that will be accessible to children. The facility has a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher, carbon monoxide detector, pull down fire alarm, centralized smoke detection system, and first aid supplies. The outdoor play space was fully fenced and free of hazardous conditions, and there are canopies to provide shade. The toys and activities were age appropriate and there was an ample supply. There is sufficient cushioning underneath the play structures to absorb a fall.
Ms. Grinshpan was advised that she will need to wait for approval of the unique waiver, prior to implementing the requested changes. This report will remain on file for 3 years. An electronic signature from Ms. Grinshpan will not be completed, but the report will be emailed and the read receipt will serve as confirmation of the report. |
