On 6/21/21 at 1:00 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Keturah Lane and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Monica Cuddy visited the facility to conduct an annual inspection. Upon arrival LPA/LPM met with Director Christine D’Amico and proceeded to tour the facility. During today's inspection, there were 7 children with 2 staff members in one classroom. Appropriate ratios and capacity were observed. Appropriate care & visual supervision were also observed during the inspection while children were playing outside in the turf area next to the classroom.

Furniture and age appropriate equipment is in good condition. Rooms have adequate heating, lighting, ventilation. Floors appear to be clean and safe. Drinking water is readily accessible. Bathrooms are maintained with operational toilets and faucets with appropriate temperature. Paper towels and toilet paper are available. Bathroom is lighted and has ventilation. There is a sink area for washing hands and a small refrigerator used for snacks as needed. Chilldren bring their own lunches and snacks from home. Cleaning supplies are kept separate from food and are inaccessible to children. Storage containers for solid waste have tight-fitting covers and are kept in good repair. There are no hazardous items or poisons accessible to children. Director stated there are no firearms or other weapons on the premises. The facility appears to be free of insects and rodents. There is an operational carbon monoxide detector at the facility.

There are two outdoor play areas. The main playground contains equipment that is appropriate for ages 5-12 years upon inspection. LPA Lane advised that only the 5 years-olds use the play structure and staff supervise younger children in that area so they do not use the structure. The second outdoor play area is located close to the classrooms and contains a small turf area and picnic area. This area was remeasured and total area is 895.6 square feet which comfortably accommodates 11 children. Total outdoor play space available is 3,607.12 square feet which is large enough for 48 children. (continued on LIC809-C...)
