On 01/22/2024 at 10am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Samantha Clenista conducted an announced Pre-licensing follow-up inspection. Upon arrival, LPA met with Leslie Lucy, CEO/Center Director. All indoor and outdoor activity space utilized for the children were inspected today. Facility is requesting to be licensed for 80 preschoolers (ages 2 to K) in Classrooms 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Fire clearance was granted on 11/29/2023.

LPA took a tour of the facility per facility sketch. The initial pre-licensing inspection was conducted on 12/18/2023. Purpose of this visit is to follow-up on the corrections that were needed to be corrected prior to licensure. The following were the listed corrections that LPA noted during the initial pre-licensing inspection:
  • Remove infant equipment in Classroom 5.
  • Make the following doors inaccessible located in Classroom 3; janitor, kitchen and two exit doors (that lead directly to the parking lot).
  • Remove green climbing structure that is age appropriate for 3-6 years old from the playground.
  • Remove the cubbies located in Classroom 1, 2 and 4 and replace them with hooks.
  • Add an additional sink in Classroom 2 in order to meet the requested capacity of 80 children.
  • Submit an updated outdoor sketch showing playing structure.
  • Ensure all outlets in classrooms have an outlet covers.
  • Extend the playground fencing to meet 4ft. or higher.


After the initial pre-licensing inspection, facility requested a change in their usage of sinks and wanted to add a restroom that is located in the Worship Center (1 toilet and 1 sink) as the staff/isolation restroom. The restroom is labeled "Family Restroom." There is an approved letter from the Senior Pastor on file to allow facility to utilize this Worship Center restroom. The staff restroom within the childcare building will now be used for children. There is now a total of 6 sink and 7 toilets, sufficient to accommodate requested capacity of 80 children. The sink and toilet that was added is adult sized, so Ms. Lucy stated she will purchase and install children stairs and toilet seat to accommodate children.

LPA observed Classroom 5 to be set up for younger preschoolers and Ms. Lucy stated this classroom will be utilized as a "worship" room only. The janitor and kitchen door in Classroom 3 was observed locked during time of inspection, making it inaccessible to children. The two exit doors that lead directly to the parking lot is still easily accessible and has no alarm system (per Ms. Lucy's original statement). Ms. Lucy stated she will purchase to alarm system and install it and send a video to LPA of it operational. The green climbing structure was removed from the preschool playground. The cubbies that were located in Classrooms 2, and 4 were either removed or placed outside in the hallway. LPA reminded that no cubbies shall be placed within these classrooms unless it is off the ground (i.e. hooks, floating shelves) so that no square footage is taken out. LPA obtained updated outdoor sketch from Ms. Lucy during time of inspection. LPA observed all outlets within the classrooms that were not in use, had outlet covers. LPA measured outdoor fencing that was initially observed to be less than 4ft. and was now observed to be at least 4ft. or higher, making it in compliance with Title 22 regulation.

LPA observed the above corrections to be completed during inspection. The following corrections were discussed and needed to be corrected prior to licensure; make the hallway restroom (toilet and sink) appropriate for children, place alarms on both exit doors in Classroom 3, and either remove or mount the cubbies on the wall in Classroom 1. Ms. Lucy stated she will provide LPA proof of corrections no later than 01/26/24.

Once all remaining corrections are obtained, reviewed and after conducting a final file review, a preschool license for 80 preschool children (ages 2 to Kindergarten) in Classrooms 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 may be granted. Ms. Lucy understands that this report shall be kept available at the facility for public review for 3 years.
