This facility is a combination center and the other component is a school age program. The preschool program operates Monday-Friday between the hours of 7am-6pm, in two classrooms and an activity space, when school age children are not using the spaces. Charles stated he had to leave to pick up school age children and would return soon, and left at 2:30pm. He called Licensee, Leah Rosenthal Kambic letting her know an inspection was commencing. Present in the preschool were 7 children with 2 staff (1 fully qualified, 1 Teacher). Leah arrived at 2:35pm.
