Upon arrival, LPA met with Licensee Representative, Katie Manly. The Licensee, Camelot Kids LLC., has requested an individual emergency waiver to temporary increase their facility capacity to assist families affected in the LA Fires. This facility is currently licensed to operate with a capacity of 121 children: (20) toddler children from ages 18 to 30 months in the Little Knights classroom and (101) preschool children from ages 2 to 6 in the Camelot classrooms. The licensee has requested to serve 153 children: (25) toddler children from ages 18 to 30 months in the Little Knights classroom and (128) preschool children from ages 2 to 6 in the Camelot classrooms. The increase of capacity waiver will allow the facility to operate beyond its licensed capacity temporarily while the State of Emergency for Los Angeles and Ventura Counties is in effect. The facility received an approved fire clearance to operate at the capacity of 153 children. Hours of operation will be Monday to Friday from 8am to 5:30pm. Present during today’s inspection were (107) children with (22) staff. Appropriate ratios and supervision were observed. All indoor and outdoor activity space utilized for the children was inspected today. LPA informed Katie Manly 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. During this inspection LPA remeasured the designated toddler areas both indoors and outdoors at the request of the Licensee representative. Total toddler indoor space measured for 1,427 sq. ft. which can accommodate the requested toddler capacity. No measurements were obtained for the designated preschool areas.
