• Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.

LPA observed that each child had a designated, clearly labeled space for storing personal belongings. LPA observed that each child had an individual cot labeled with the child's name. LPA observed that each child's sheets, bedding, and blankets were stored separately in individual bags to prevent cross-contamination. The Director stated that bedding and related materials are laundered by parents on a weekly basis or more frequently, as needed.

This facility does not provide regular meals or snacks. Each child is expected to bring two snacks, a packed lunch, and a personal water bottle each day. Families are responsible for ensuring that all food meets their child’s dietary needs and is appropriately packed. A filtered water system is available in the kitchen, and teachers will refill water bottles as needed to keep children hydrated. While daily food and drink must be brought from home, the preschool maintains a supply of snacks and water, which may be provided if a child needs additional nourishment during the day.

Bathroom facilities met the required ratio of one sink and toilet per 15 children. Toileting areas, including sinks, dispensers, walls, and floors, were routinely disinfected. The designated sink for rinsing soiled items was sanitized after each use. Trash was kept in covered containers, and the indoor temperature was maintained at 68°F.
