On July 27, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Monique Ayala conducted an unannounced required 1-year inspection. A COVID-19 risk assessment was conducted prior to entering the facility. LPA met with Family Advocate, Annel Castro who guided the LPA on a tour of the facility. During the time of the inspection there were no children or teacher/staff present as the facility is preparing to open for the fall. This is a preschool age program which operates Monday through Friday from 8:15AM to 2:30PM. Per the Family Advocate there are 33 children enrolled. Facility also has a State Preschool program on the premises license number 198015579.

The following classrooms were inspected: Classroom 03 and Classroom 04. The classrooms were set up with age appropriate tables, chairs, toys and napping equipment (mats).

The classroom furniture and equipment was inspected for good repair, free of sharp, loose, or pointed parts. All indoor classrooms were inspected to ensure that the floors have a surface that is safe and clean. All toilets and washing facilities are in safe and sanitary operating conditions. All materials and surfaces accessible to children are toxic free.

The facility provides all meals and filtered water to children in care. The meals are provided by VOA central kitchen and the water comes from a filtered faucet in the facility that has been tested and cleared for lead. The kitchen was observed to be clean and the cleaning compounds/solutions were found to be stored away from the food.

LPA observed that there are functioning smoke and carbon detectors in the facility. LPA observed a fully charged and serviced fire extinguisher. Emergency disaster drill was last conducted on 06/05/23.
