Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Kelli Waters and Sumayya Habeebulla arrived at this facility on 05/15/24 to investigate the above allegation that the outdoor activity space is not being maintained free of hazards, leading to injury. LPAs met with Director Lianne Holgate and Valerie Rodriguez. Ms. Rodriguez took LPAs on a tour of the two-year-old classroom and outside play area. Upon tour of outside area, LPA Waters observed an area of the cement located directly in the center of the outdoor play space that poses a potential tripping hazard.

During confidential interviews, it was revealed that this area has been a concern of staff and have seen children trip and fall in that area on multiple occasions. The concrete area in disrepair is located directly in the path of movement leading from the sandbox area to the remaining patio play area. LPAs observed that the concrete has shifted in multiple directions, resulting in an uneven surface with more than two inches in difference in more than one seam area.
