Page 2: LPA continued to tour the facility and measured all indoor and outdoor activity space. This facility will have 2 classrooms (Preschool classroom and Toddler classroom). According to the Title 22 regulations, the toddler program shall be conducted in areas physically separate from those used by older or younger children. LPA observed both classrooms to have its own separate entrance within the facility. Total indoor activity space for the preschool classroom measured for 1,340 square feet which is sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity of 36 preschool children. Total indoor activity space for the toddler classroom measured for 899.9 square feet which is sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity of 24 toddler children.
LPA observed all indoor activity space to be complete with safe, age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, napping cots, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. Drinking water will be available in the classrooms via Sparklet water dispenser jug. LPAs 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 12/01/2023.
LPA observed a total of 2 sinks and 2 toilets located within the toddler option classroom and 2 sinks and 2 toilets located within the preschool children. These can accommodate 24 toddlers and 30 preschoolers. There is a separate staff restroom equipped with a toilet and a sink. The isolation area for children who are ill will be the main office area and ill children will utilize the staff restroom.

Facility will provide AM and PM snacks and lunch. Food will be prepared on site. There is a kitchen area located on the premises that is kept off-limit by a locked door. The kitchen area currently includes a refrigerator, microwave, stove with an oven and sink. The kitchen area and food storage areas were observed to be free of rodents and/or vermin.
