25 | On 08/14/2024 at 2:15 pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Crystal Green conducted an announced Case Management inspection for an increase in the licensed capacity. LPA met with Licensee Representative Sandra Trani. This facility is located on the premises of George Sanchez Elementary School. This facility is currently licensed as a HeadStart/ Preschool program with a capacity of (18) children serving ages 2 to 5 years old in classroom: Head Start 1. The Licensee, Garvey School District, has requested to increase their overall licensed capacity to (42) children by adding (1) additional classroom: Classroom KA.
The hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. No children were present during today’s inspection. Per the Licensee Representative, the facility is currently closed due to summer break.
LPA continued to tour the facility and measured the new indoor activity space. The total new indoor activity space measured is 1,132.25 square footage, which is sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity increase. LPA observed all indoor activity space to be complete with safe, age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, napping cots, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. Drinking water is available in the classrooms via filter water fountains located next to the classroom. LPA observed all hazardous items to be inaccessible to children. There are no bodies of water or weapons on the property. Fire clearance was granted on 7/10/2024.
LPA observed a total of 4 sinks and 4 toilets that will be available for children’s use. These are sufficient to accommodate the requested overall capacity of children. The facility currently has one fully fenced playground area. Fencing is made of wrought iron, which was observed to be at least four feet high. LPA did not obtain measurements for existing licensed outdoor activity space. This facility has an approved waiver on file for shared use of the outdoor activity space with the Kindergarten Program. The Kindergarten Program operates separately from the Head Start/ Preschool Program.
