On 3/18/2025, at 9:15am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Vicky Williamson conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection for the purpose of inspecting and measuring additional space added to the infant playground. Upon arrival, LPA met with Facility Representative, Renece McMorris. LPA observed additional space added to the playground during another inspection at the facility on 3/5/2025. Days and hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 6:00am to 6:00pm. Present during today’s inspection were 13 children and four (4) staff. Appropriate ratios and supervision were observed. Outdoor activity space utilized for the infant children was inspected today. LPA informed Facility Representative, Renece McMorris that staff are required to maintain direct visual supervision of the children at all times during indoor and outdoor activities. Facility Representative, Renece McMorris stated there are no bodies of water or weapons on the property.

The facility currently has a fully fenced playground area. Fencing is constructed of wrought iron that is at least four feet high. The total square footage for all infant outdoor activity space is 1,154.65, which is sufficient to accommodate 15 infants at one time, insufficient for the number of infants being requested.

A playground waiver to share the playground at different times in the AM and PM due to limited square footage shall be submitted and approved prior to15 children being allowed on the playground.
