Upon arrival, LPAs met with Facility Representatives, Hunan Arshakian (CEO/Administrator), Armen Arshakian (CFO/Administrator), Anahit Antonyan (Center Director) and Gayne Karapeetyan (Assistant Director). Facility is requesting to be licensed for 48 infants (6 weeks -2yo) in Infant Rooms #1, #2 and #3; 96 preschool children (ages 2-5 years old) in the Preschool Rooms #1, #2, #3 and #4; for a total capacity of 144 children. Fire clearance was granted on 03/07/2024. Hours of operation will be Monday thru Friday, 6:30am-6pm. All indoor and outdoor activity space utilized for the children was inspected today. LPAs informed Facility Representatives that staff are required to maintain direct visual supervision of the children at all times during indoor and outdoor activities. When medications are on site, Facility Representatives stated that they will be in a locked box in the director’s office. A fully equipped first aid kit is located in the director’s office. There is an operational carbon monoxide detector on site located in the kitchen. All required licensing documents were observed posted in the main lobby area. Children will be signed in and out via Brightwheel App. LPAs continued to tour the facility and measured all indoor and outdoor activity space. Total indoor activity space for the infants measured 2,245.34 sq. ft., which is sufficient to accommodate the requested overall capacity of 48 infants. Total indoor activity space for the preschool measured 2,929.40 sq. ft., which can only accommodate 83 children. Due to limited indoor activity space for the preschool children, Facility Representatives stated they will update their request to reflect 83 children instead of 96. An updated LIC200A will need to be submitted.
