LPA toured the facility and there was no children in care at the time of the inspection. The facility is temporarily closed due to COVID-19.

The facility is requesting an increase in capacity from 45 to 63 children. The facility operation hours are Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The licensee has obtained a fire clearance from Inspector Sanders of Torrance Fire Department as of 05/12/2020.

The building consists of a total of seven (7) classrooms, kitchen, one (1) staff bathroom, and two (2) children's restrooms. (The facility is pending licensure for an infant center - St. Abraam Preschool # 197414417 and will be requesting to use the additional areas for the infant license).The outdoor activity space(s) is located in the rear of the facility, across the walking path of the parking lot. There are two enclosed play yards. The licensee is requesting usage of both play yards for preschool children. The Director shall ensure that gates are secure so that the walking path leading to the parking lot is inaccessible to children in care.

LPA conducted measurements of the facility (inside and outside). LPA informed the licensee that a subsequent pre-licensing inspection was required for the additional classrooms. The licensee was informed to ensure classrooms are set up for licensure in order to accurately determine corrections and activity space. The licensee was informed that the following measurements taken today were based on the current observations of the facility. Upon determination of the subsequent visit, re-measurements may be required.
