The preschool playground is separate from the toddler option playground. LPA did a general overall measurement of the space at 6150 sq. ft, determining a total capacity of 82 children, more than sufficient for the requested capacity of 48 children. The playground is equipped with age appropriate equipment, has sufficient cushioning around climbing structures and adequate shade. The Toddler Option playground measured a total capacity of 1268.56, sq. ft., sufficient for 16 children. The facility will need to request a waiver to allow them to be licensed at capacity of 18 toddlers. Outdoor time will need to occur on a staggered schedule so as not to exceed the maximum capacity of 16 children outside at any given time. Play equipment is age appropriate, there is sufficient grass cushioning and adequate shade. No hazards were noted on either playground and portable water will be used outdoors.

Incidental Medical services (IMS) policy was discussed and the facility has an approved Plan in place for Epi Pens and Inhaled Medications. For IMS information see Evaluator Manual – Regulation Interpretations and Procedures for Child Care Centers Sections 101173 and 101226. When any IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation that includes IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice)/ (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at: http://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm. An approved plan is on site for Licensee's other facilities and will be added to this site.

LPA reviewed criminal background clearances, qualifications, posting requirements, sign in/out, supervision, ratios, unusual incident reporting, emergency drills, children and staff records, mandated reporter training, first aid/cpr requirements and Effects of Lead Exposure Handout was provided. A fire clearance for 48 children ages 2 through kindergarten in Rooms 1, 2 and the Daycare/Aftercare room and 18 children, ages 18 to 36 months, was received on 9/26/2019.

Director is registered to take the Preventative Health class on October 19th. The Administration Assistant Natasha RIvera does have her completed certificate and will be present at the facility. Once the playground waiver is approved and a final file review is completed, a license a total capacity of 66 children ages 2 to kindergarten, to include a Toddler Option for 18 children ages 18 to 36 months, will be granted and the license will be mailed for posting.
