The facility’s operating hours are 7:00 am - 6:30 pm, Monday-Friday, year-round. Individual arrangements are occasionally made to operate weekday evenings until 10:00 p.m. and/or Saturdays between 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. The facility was toured inside and outside, and the floor and yard plan submitted by the licensee were verified. The on limits areas are the preschool room (living room), hall bathroom, hallway, nap room (family room), kitchen, baby room (converted garage), and the playground part of the backyard, which is fully fenced. The off-limits areas are the other, separate part of the backyard, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, the backyard shed.
