All individuals listed on the facility’s roster have been granted permission to work or be present in a childcare center. The center is operating within its capacity and in accordance with the required ratio of staff to children. Hours of operation are Monday- Friday, 7:30 am- 5:30 pm.

Per Director, there are no changes to the existing physical plant. The facility maintains a record of sign-in/out for children, and all parent signatures were accounted for and matched the number of children present. The children’s classroom environment appeared clean and organized, with appropriate heating, lighting, and ventilation. The Center also provided age-appropriate toys, furnishings, changing tables, and equipment. LPA did not observe any pools, spas, or other bodies of water at the facility. According to the Director, no firearms or weapons are present at the Center, and all cleaning materials and potentially hazardous objects are kept out of reach of children. Personnel restrooms are separate from children, and all solid waste storage containers have tightly fitted lids. The Center also maintains multiple carbon monoxide detectors (not tested as at napping time), centralized smoke alarm, fully charged fire extinguisher, and First Aid kit. Designated cubbies are available for children to store their belongings. There is sufficient sleeping equipment and cots for each child, and all mats and bedding are kept in the appropriate location. All the food is delivered by the School District daily. LPA also observed that the food preparation site is clean, organized, and inaccessible to children. The yard was shared with the children in all classrooms with waiver from CCL. LPA observed that the outdoor playground area is in good repair and completely fenced for supervision. The play structure is age-appropriate and in good condition, with sufficient cushioning underneath. (Continued on page 2...)
