Each restroom has two stalled toilets and a row of exposed toilets for the preschool children. Per licensee, the school age share the preschool restrooms. LPA reviewed with licensee that when a preschool child is using the restroom, the school age child is to wait in the classroom until the preschool child is finished using the restroom. Per licensee, this was not being followed. Per licensee, to comply with the school age privacy laws and not commingle children, the boys restroom will be for the preschool children and the girls restroom will be for the school age restroom. A divider will be installed in the hallway to distinguish the preschool side and school age side. The school age restroom has two toilets that are stalled and four hand washing sinks. This will meet the school age capacity of 30. Licensee is aware that only one gender at a time can use the two stalled toilets.
