On 08/14/2024 at 09:50 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Crystal Green conducted an announced Case Management inspection for an increase in the licensed capacity. LPA met with Licensee Representative Sandra Trani. This facility is located on the ground of Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary School. This facility is currently licensed as a Head Start/ Preschool program with a capacity of (54) children serving ages 2 to 5 years old in (3) classrooms: Classroom 1, 2, and 17. The Licensee, Garvey School District, has requested to increase their overall licensed capacity to (102) children by adding (2) additional classrooms: classroom 13 and 16.

The hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. No children were present during today’s inspection. Per the Licensee Representative, the facility is currently closed due to summer break.

LPA continued to tour the facility and measured the new indoor activity space. The total new indoor activity space measured is 1922.08 square footage, which is sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity increase. LPA observed all indoor activity space to be complete with safe, age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, napping cots, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. Drinking water is available in the classrooms via filter water fountains located next to each classroom. LPA observed all hazardous items to be inaccessible to children. There are no bodies of water or weapons on the property. Fire clearance was granted on 6/27/2024.

LPA observed a total of 6 sinks, 5 toilets, and 1 urinal in addition to the existing restrooms that are available for the children’s use. These are sufficient to accommodate the requested overall capacity of 102 children.
