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.
