LPA Schnell reviewed the COVID-19 self-assessment guide and required postings with the applicant today. Since this facility will be operating during the COVID-19 pandemic on a closed elementary school site, the applicant is required to obtain a waiver as part of this licensure process.

A follow-up pre-licensing inspection will need to be conducted to completely evaluate the physical plant once construction is finished and the facility is completely set up.

Applicant will need correct items identified in this report before a license can be recommended. Updated Parent Handbook is also needed. Updated LIC 200A, LIC 999 and LIC 401 forms will need to be completed to reflect any changes to the requested capacity of 36.
