During today's inspection, four infants and eight pre-k children were in the care of the Licensee and a helper. The fingerprint clearance is on file for all adult residents. The daycare operates from 8:00 am -6:00 pm, Monday through Friday.

Bedroom #2, Bedroom #3, Garage (Pass through only), Hallway (Pass through only) and Kitchen (pass through only) are off limits. All off-limit areas are made inaccessible using locked doors and child-safety gates. When a child exhibits symptom of illness, the Licensee will separate the child in one of the rooms and have the child wait in the room while contacting the parent to arrange for the child's pick-up.
