| Room measurements were taken and reviewed with Lisa. The total inside preschool area measured to an approximate 925 square feet. Lisa stated that she will amend her paperwork and will only request a total of 24 school age children. Lisa will add more tables and chairs in both classrooms along with cubbies so children can place their belongings in them.
Lisa will obtain age appropriate toys and equipment for the school age children. The school age bathrooms are right in front of the classrooms inside the cafeteria building which consists of 1 toilet & 1 Sink in each bathroom. Lisa stated that the door leading to the cafeteria will have a latch in place from the inside of the cafeteria so children don't have access to it. Lisa stated that each classroom will have a water igloo with disposable cups to be used for drinking water. A water jug will be used for the outdoor play area.
The approximate outside square footage for the school age area is 4,322 which will accommodate the 24 school age. The play area has a fence that goes around. Lisa stated that play structure is being remodeled. LPAs suggested for Lisa to get a playground inspector since the playground doesn't have an age appropriate sticker. There is plenty of shade area and 6 benches so children can sit and rest. Lisa is using rubber mulch to soften the fall zones. There is grass and trees that provide additional shade. Lisa stated that the playground will be shared with the maverick program. A waiver will be submitted and pending approval. LPAs reminded Lisa to provide adequate supervision at all times.
A fire clearance for 128 children was received and granted by the Fresno Fire Department on 10/20/2021. An amended fire clearance will be required to meet the newly overall requested capacity of 101 children.
