Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ketki Desai conducted an unannounced Virtual inspection with the facility Director Ms. Yeakel, Katherine to clarify the outdoor play yard measurements, as the facility has now obtained permission to use additional play yards for the preschool children.
LPA also received new pictures and a letter from the Board giving them permission to use the additional play yards.
LPA observed the play yards were completely fenced and has wooden chips as cushioning material on the new Kid City play yard while the courtyard space has concrete flooring. Age appropriate play structures were observed. There are outdoor restrooms and water fountains available for children during outdoor play.
New measurements are as follows:
Preschool yard: 101’25” X 82’33= 8335’91” / 75 = 111.14 (111 children)
Kid City play yard: 99’08” X 27’67” = 2741’54” / 75= 36.55 (36 children)
Courtyard space: 111 X 87’42” = 9703’62 / 75= 129.38 (129 children)
Total outdoor space: 20781’08” divided by 75= 277 children
Based on the above measurements, facility has enough space to accommodate the requested change in capacity for 120 preschool children.
The report was read and emailed to the Director Ms. Yeakel, Katherine and the read receipt shall serve in lieu of the signature.
Exit interview conducted via face time with the Director, who agreed with the same. |
