On Thursday, September 16th, 2021, at 10:20am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Blake Morillas met with the Director, Stephanie Brodi, for the purpose of an unannounced Annual Required inspection. At 10:21am, 9 preschool age children and 2 staff were observed.

Operating hours are 8:00am to 2:30pm, Monday through Friday. The facility is closed during the Summer.

At 10:28am, LPA initiated a health and safety inspection of all indoor and outdoor areas accessible to the children in care.

It was observed that the fenced outdoor play yard had been altered since the last inspection. The fenced area was reinspected and remeasured, with a total square footage of approximately 882 sq. ft., which is insufficient for the licensed capacity of 30 children. The director stated that current enrollment is at 10 children. Until a solution is reached, the Director noted that enrollment will be capped at 10 children. The Director was reminded that when children are outside of the fenced area, 100% in-person supervision is required. LPA observed that hazardous items (disinfectants, cleaning solutions etc.) were inaccessible to children in care.

Snacks and lunches are provided by the parents for their children to consume with the facility having back-up snacks if needed.

LPA reviewed care and supervision of children, staffing ratios, health related services (including medications and first aid supplies), furniture, equipment, and fire drills logs. LPA observed all required forms to be posted. Sign/in-sign/out sheet were reviewed. Drinking water is readily accessible to children in care and water bottles are used when children are outside. *Continued on LIC 809-C
