LPAs observed that the facility is clean. Director understands that the Facility must be kept free of flies, other insects & rodents. LPAs observed that all furniture and equipment are in good condition and safe for the children. Drinking water will be readily available for the children indoors via filtered water and reusable water bottles. Transportation is not provided by the Facility.

The Facility serves AM/PM snacks and lunch to the children. There is an off-limits kitchen for food preparation. The kitchen is clean and equipped with hot and cold running water, refrigerator, rice cooker, and storage space for food. Disposable utensils and plates is utilized by the Facility. There is 1 table, 12 chairs, 20 cubbies, 4 cribs, 2 high chairs, and 8 cots for the children. There is adequate equipment, supplies, and toys for the preschool children in Room 1.

OUTDOOR MEASUREMENTS:

New outdoor space - (closer to front sidewalk area):

19.250 x 9.8333 = 189.285

Existing outdoor space - (closer to front entrance):
32.167 x 10.083 minus 8 (encumbered space) = 320.530 sq ft

TOTAL OUTDOOR SPACE = 320.530 add 189.285 = 509.815 sq. ft. divided by 75 = 6 children

Infant playground has space for 6 children. There is not enough space for the requested capacity of 12. As a result, the facility will need to request a waiver for reduced capacity.

LPAs observed the outdoor playgrounds are adequately fenced and gated. LPAs observed that the gate to the new outdoor space is not self-latching and thus does not close properly. LPAs observed that the gate to the existing outdoor space gets "jammed" (possible expansion of the wood) and can be difficult to open and close. Shade is provided by building overhangs and trees. The playground areas are cushioned with artificial turf that can absorb a fall. Drinking water is provided via filtered water pitchers and reusable water bottles. Children in the infant program will be entering at the front entrance and the preschools will enter through the back.
