25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mel Matos met with Tiffany Brunnings, Executive Director, for an announced case management inspection. Purpose of today's inspection: discuss playground renovations for two of the three outdoor preschool playground areas.
The Facility currently has three preschool playground areas (Yard 1, 2, & 3). Playground renovations for Yards 2 & 3 were scheduled for February 1, 2023 to April 19, 2023 (Phase I) and April 19, 2023 to May 9, 2023 (Phase II). Tiffany states that the dimensions of Yards 2 & 3 playground areas did not change as a result of the renovations. Tiffany states that new artificial turf, new play structures, and resilient materials (Plan N Pour) were installed in Yards 2 & 3.
LPA toured both preschool playground areas (Yards 2 & 3) with Tiffany during today's inspection. LPA observed that artificial turf was installed in areas that had natural grass, new play structures replaced the older structures, and resilient materials (Play N Pour) were installed underneath and around the new play structures. LPA observed that the new play structures are age appropriate, secure, and safe for the preschool children.
Tiffany states that a final inspection of both playground areas should be completed within the next week or so. Tiffany states that the preschool children will not utilize both playground areas until the final inspection has been completed & approved. Tiffany agreed to submit a copy of the final inspection approval to LPA once it has been completed. LPA advised Tiffany that the Facility can start using both playground areas once they have the final inspection approval.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Executive Director, Tiffany Brunnings. No deficiencies issued during today's inspection. A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. |
