Facility submitted an application to regional office on February 27, 2025, to reduce preschool overall capacity from 124 to 106, as classroom #2 will be utilized in the infant program. Preschool program capacity will decrease to 88 preschool age children and 18 toddlers for a total of 106. LPA reminded Director that infants, toddlers and preschool children are not to commingle.
