LPA met with director, Deanne Walkwitz who gave a tour of the school to LPA. Currently the facility is licensed for 85 children including 12 school age children. LPA observed there were 6 staff with 32 children and 11 school age children in Room # 115. The facility is on the premises of The Evangelical Free Church of Orange. Room 103, 112, and 115 are located in building on two adjacent properties with different addresses. There is a waiver on file for these two programs to operate under one license for each program category. All these rooms are under the address of 1400 E. Taft on the license. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. The facility has requested to provide care and supervision to 80 preschool children including 12 school age children, Monday to Friday from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm. The children are dropped off, signed in and out electronically at the entrance of the building to go to rooms. The facility has met all the posting requirements. Both rooms were measured. The indoor activity space measurement for the current requested capacity is as follows: Room # 3 is: 899.39 square feet. Room # 103 is: 695.84 square feet.
