On 12/19/2024 at 1:31pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Selina Siao conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection for an increase in capacity. Upon arrival, LPA met with Director Josie Debus and Assistant Director Camille Sterns. Facility is requesting to be licensed for 81 preschool children ages 2 to 5 years old in rooms #1, #2 and #3. Hours of operation will be Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm. Present during today’s inspection were 40 preschool children with 7 staff members. Appropriate ratios and supervision were observed. All indoor and outdoor activity space utilized for the children was inspected today. LPA informed Director that staff are required to maintain direct visual supervision of the children at all times during indoor and outdoor activities.

LPA continued to tour the facility and remeasured all indoor and outdoor activity space. Total indoor activity space measured to be 2528.71 square feet, which is only sufficient to accommodate 72 children. LPA observed all indoor activity space to be complete with safe, age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, napping mats, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. Drinking water is available in the classrooms via the drinking fountains in each classroom and there is also a water pitcher that staff gets from the 5-gallon Sparklett water dispenser near the front lobby area. The children brings their own water bottles from home. LPA observed all hazardous items to be inaccessible to children. Facility representatives stated that there are no bodies of water or weapons on the property. Fire clearance was granted on 10/31/2024.

LPA observed a total of 9 sinks and 6 toilets available for children’s use. These are sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity.



The facility currently has a fully fenced playground area. The facility’s chain link fencing is at least four feet high. The total square footage for all the outdoor activity space is 5944.20 square feet, which is sufficient for only 79 children at one time insufficient for the number of children being requested. A playground waiver to share the playground at different times in the AM and PM due to limited square footage was submitted and it shall be approved prior to the change of capacity request.
