Areas Reviewed

While all areas of standards were reviewed during the initial inspection all areas could not be determined because the center is not yet open for operation. All standards will be determined during the first unannounced inspection after the license has been issued.

Inspector Notes

An announced initial inspection was conducted on March 22, 2023. The entire facility inside and out was toured and each room was measured. The outside play space was also measured. Equipment was reviewed including three infant cribs and diaper changing station.

Please remember that all children under two and half years old must be cared for in the room with direct egress to outside.

Due to the limitation of the certificate of occupancy a recommendation of a capacity of 33 children ages six weeks through 12 years will be made. Furthermore, the outside playground is limited to 17 children at one time. A stipulation to this affect will be placed on the license.
