2. Outdoor space:
Play yard B (Outdoor Grass Play Area): 1,852 sq ft. allows for 24 infants

3. LPA inspected one restroom in classroom A and found it to be operable with 1 toilet and 1 sink.

LPA observed the isolation area in the Director's office. The outdoor space was inspected and found to have age appropriate furniture and toys. A shaded area for rest and drinking water is available outdoors as the facility provides water pitchers.

The limiting factor for the capacity of this evaluation is the outdoor activity space which allows for only 24 children.

Capacity increase is pending:
-Board/activity log where staff can indicate information about each child and parent can review.
-Refrigerator for staff/children must be properly labeled to identify side for children and staff
-Boxes/heater in restroom located in classroom A must be removed
-Licensing postings must be updated at entrance of facility
-Waiver (staggered use of outdoor space) to be submitted.

The corrections must be completed by 12/20/19. The waiver must be submitted to the department and will be reviewed by management. A follow up inspection will take place to review corrections.

A copy of this report along with a Notice of Site Visit were provided to Director Merle Perez. The determination of the increase shall be communicated to the Director after managerial review of the pending items.
