At approximately 11:45 AM, LPA inspected the facility’s two classrooms and observed that the required teacher-to-child ratio was being maintained. The classrooms were organized to allow infants to explore different activity areas. Adequate play and learning materials were available, and all furniture and equipment were age-appropriate and in good repair. The floors were clean, and each child had an individual storage space for personal belongings. The designated isolation area for ill children is the Director’s office, located away from other children in care.

Each file contained the required documentation, including Personal Rights, Parent’s Rights, Medical Consent forms, and Identification and Emergency Information. The facility conducts disaster drills at least once every six months. The last documented drill was conducted on May 6, 2026.

Each file contained the required Health Screening form, Employee Rights documentation, and the Statement Acknowledging Requirement to Report Child Abuse.
