All adults followed Covid-19 Guidelines. The school office is located in between the classrooms. There is no restroom in the school office. LPAs toured the three classrooms #1, #2, and #3. The classrooms are set up however classroom #2 and #3 have chairs and desk that are larger and will accommodate older children 4 and 5 years old and not younger children ages 2 and 3 years old. LPAs discussed this matter with the applicant who agreed. LPAs observed the three classrooms set up for operation. The lighting and ventilation is adequate. LPAs inspected the restrooms which have been newly painted and new toilet seats. The sinks and toilets are operating properly. The water fountains are inoperable. LPAs inspected the outdoor area outside of Classroom #1. This area has picnic tables and unsafe equipment which needs to be removed. There are no bodies of water. The Fellowship hall/lunch room measured for 37 capacity. At this time the applicant is requesting to utilize the fellowship hall for the children to eat lunch.

This was discussed with the applicant in great detail. The kitchen is accessible to this area and is off-limits to children.
