Inspector Notes

An Initial monitoring inspection was initiated and concluded on site on 9/26/2022. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, (planned) staffing, programming, medication, special care and emergencies and nutrition. Areas to be utilized by children in care were measured and inspected to include the classrooms, common areas, restrooms and outdoor play areas. Compliance with many areas of the standards can not be determined until staff are hired and children are in care. A conditional license will be recommended for a capacity of 68 children with limitations stipulated by the certificate of occupancy to include no more than 16 children present who are under 2 1/2 years old at any given time. During the conditional period, inspections will be made to verify compliance with the standards.

Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program.

Evidence:
The threshold on the floor at the doorway between the pre-k rooms and the infant/toddler suite has several layers of material that protrude approximately 1/2 inch above the floor. This raised threshold poses a trip hazard.
The program director acknowledged the hazard and stated that she has already asked the contractor to remedy the problem.

The program director acknowledged that children, other than infants, did not have a space for placing their personal belongings and stated that she has purchased hooks which will be installed in the classrooms. Children will be asked to bring their belongings to the center in a knapsack or backpack which can be hung on individually assigned hooks.
