On 6/24/2020 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Chandler made an announced (due to Covid 19) visit to the above facility for the purposes of conducting a licensee initiated request to increase the capacity of the license. Licensee is requesting an increase from 90 preschoolers, to 106 preschooler, and increase of 16 preschoolers.
The licensee is requesting to add an additional classroom to the existing class rooms, additional restrooms, and an outdoor waiver to accommodate the increase . An approved fire clearance conducted 2/18/2020 by the Valley Fire Prevention is on file for a combined total capacity of 105.
LPA met met with Sarah Thomas (director) and a tour of the facility was conducted as follows:
The room to be added is described as room F (Kinderbugs). The classroom is located adjacent to the preschool parking lot, above class room E (Lady Bugs). The addition of the said classroom will bring the total of 6 classrooms. LPA Chandler inspected the room for health and safety compliance, there were no hazardous conditions or concerns regarding the class room. The classroom was equipped with a standard fire extinguisher,carbon monoxide detectors and age appropriate furniture in good repair. Measurements of the additional classroom = indoor capacity (space) 556. divided by 35(SQ. FEET) = 15.89; a capacity of 15 children in classroom F, reducing the requested capacity to 15 (105 in total).
The director is requesting to use an alternating schedule to accommodate the allowed outdoor capacity of 80 children at any given time. At the time of the report the waiver is pending management approval.
All other classes were observed and measured; based on observations and measurements the existing classrooms remain the same as originally licensed. |
