An unannounced code compliance inspection was conducted on 11/29/2023 from 9:09am to 11:00am. At the time of entrance, 115 children were in care with 16 staff members present. Children were observed doing the following: watching a chapel video, playing in centers, working on handwriting/tracing skills, sitting in circle time learning how to draw the letter ?F?, playing in the indoor playroom, learning new words in Spanish class, group participation/following directions while reading a book on the board and singing in circle time. Interactions between the children and caregivers were positive. The site was clean, organized and contained an abundant supply of developmentally appropriate materials.
