Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Warren Birks conducted an unannounced Required - 1 Year Inspection. LPA met with Lead Teacher(LT) Vanessa Tapia who assisted analyst with a tour of the facility. This is a Title 5 Preschool Program serving children ages three (3) to five (5) years old. The hours of operation are: Monday through Friday 7:45am to 11:00 am and 11:45 to 2:45pm. The preschool operates on the grounds of a Kindergarten through eighth grade (K-8) school. The preschool program (indoors and outdoors) is physically separate and does not commingle with the K-8. Parents are checked in the school through a secured entrance.

All areas identified on the Facility Sketch were inspected. LPA observed: Room 1 (3 staff and 11 children), LPA inspected all classrooms and all outdoor areas. LPA observed furniture and equipment appear to be age appropriate and in good repair. LPA observed telephone service, heating, lighting and ventilation to be satisfactory. Children have adequate cubby storage for their belongings. The children do not nap as this is a half day program. LPA observed drinking water with drinking cups readily available in the classrooms and outdoors). LPA inspected restrooms to determine: age appropriateness (sinks and toilets), availability, functionality, adequate supply of toilet paper, safety and sanitation. All toilets and sinks are in operable condition. Note: LPA tested water temp for 5 minutes and informed LT Tapia that the water temperature is currently adequate however to monitor the water temp of classroom sink.



All indoor classrooms have surfaces that appear to be clean and safe. All materials and surfaces accessible to children are toxic free. Storage areas for poisons are locked in containers inaccessible to children. LT Tapia indicated there are no weapons at the facility and LPA did not observe any. LPA observed outdoor play equipment to be in good condition, free of sharp, loose or pointed parts. The outdoor activity space surface is maintained in a safe condition and appears to be free of uncommon hazards. At approximately 9:20am LPA observed a small palm tree with soft thorns on the north side of the playground. LPA informed LT. Tapia to address the small palm tree because sometimes the thorns become hardened when they dry out.

Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, poisons and other items that are dangerous to children are locked and/or inaccessible. The facility has one or more functioning smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors that meet statutory requirements (electronically wired to the facility).
