On 12/17/2024 Licensing Program Analyst (LPAs), Nancy Her and Octavia Nolan conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection for a decrease in capacity. Upon arrival, LPA met with Applicant Anna Pena. Applicant is requesting to be licensed for 24 preschoolers 3-5 years old in classroom 2. The facility was previously licensed in classrooms 2 and 3. The facility has been using classroom 3 for the Special Education Department for over a month and will no longer be licensed. Facility Representative Anna Pena was reminded to report changes to the Department within the next business day. Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Present during today’s inspection were 17 children with 3 staff. Appropriate ratios and supervision were observed. All indoor and outdoor activity space utilized for the children was inspected today. LPA informed Anna Pena that staff are required to maintain direct visual supervision of the children at all times during indoor and outdoor activities.

LPA continued to tour the facility and measured new additional indoor and outdoor activity space. Total indoor activity space measured 857.40 square feet, which is sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity of 24 Children. LPA observed all indoor activity space to be complete with safe, age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, napping cots/mats, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. Drinking water is available in the classrooms via fountain and personal water bottles. LPA observed all hazardous items to be inaccessible to children. There are no bodies of water or weapons on the property. Fire clearance was granted on 12/09/2024.

LPA observed a total of 1 sink and 1 toilet available exclusively for preschool children’s use. The facility will be sharing another bathroom with 1 toilet and 2 sinks with special education children in room 3. An updated waiver will be submitted. These are sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity of 24 children.
