The Covid-19 Emergency Response questionnaire was answered by director, Jill Dupree. LPA and the -director toured the facility inside and outside, and the floor and yard plan (LIC 999) were verified. LPA observed 11 staff in preparation of the classrooms for opening day of Tuesday August 16, 2022. There were no children present today. LPA observed a two year old child who belonged to one of the staff who was present today. According to director, there are almost 120 preschool children enrolled in the program for full time and part time schedule. The capacity does not exceed 90 children at any given day and time. The director stated they keep the ratio to one staff and 6-8 children. The classrooms were inspected (Rooms 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105). Due to COVID 19 guidelines, LPA observed the facility was following CDC and Dept of Public Health Guidelines. Facility hours are 8:00am - 4:00pm., Monday through Friday.
