On 9/11/20, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loretta Dyson arrived at the facility for an announced prelicensing inspection. LPA met with the applicant, Thomas Scott, his wife Vicktoriya Scott, and the director Danyel Cheathon. There was no one else present. An application was received in Licensing for a new child care center license at this location, for preschool age children with a toddler option. The hours of operation will be Monday thru Friday 7am-10pm, with extended and drop in care options. The program will be operated in 3 classroom areas, the snack/arts & craft room, indoor gross motor area/activity space and adjacent hallway space. The second floor of the building is occupied by the landlord, who will not access the child care center. LPA toured the indoor and outdoor areas with the director and Vicktoriya Scott, to conduct a health and safety inspection. The measurements are as follows:

INDOORS: 1,327.78 square feet = 38 children
OUTDOORS: 1,948.77 square feet = 26 children

A fire clearance, dated 4/30/20, for a capacity of 35 children was received from the City of Richmond Fire Department.

LPA observed that all areas of the center have sufficient heating and ventilation for safety and comfort. The floors and surfaces are clean and free of toxic substances. There is sufficient storage for children's belongings. The furniture, equipment, toys and activities are age appropriate and in good condition, and there is an ample supply available. The center has pitchers and cups that will be used to provide water to children both indoors and outdoors. The facility plans to have families bring lunch from home, but will provide snacks. There is a snack menu posted which is dated at least a week in advance. LPA observed that the snack room food preparation area is clean and sufficiently equipped. There will be an option for lunch and dinner for children who come for drop in care, and a separate menu for those meals will be posted. The meals will be ones that can just be heated and served. LPA observed that the stairs in the hallway are gated to prevent access by children.
