An announced initial inspection was conducted Monday, August 14, 2023, from approximately 9:15 am until 10:55 am. The licensing inspector was assisted during the inspection by the owner/ director. The program plans to provide care September through May and include a summer camp two weeks in July for children three years through five years in age. The program will provide care from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm Monday thru Friday. The facility can accommodate the requested capacity of 30 children. The program will utilize three classrooms, a sensory room and a multipurpose room. Outdoor space is designated within the fenced yard. Toys, educational materials, games, furnishing, arts and crafts materials and other items for the children to use have been purchased. All areas of the facility that will be used by the program were inspected. Policy and procedures were submitted to the department and reviewed. Transportation will not be provided at this time. Medication will be administered with proper parent authorization when needed and parents will provide meals and snacks.
During the inspection, the inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing, medication, special care and emergencies and nutrition. Compliance with some standards could not be determined since the center is not yet in operation. A total of two staff records were reviewed along with background checks for two board officers.
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. The center is in substantial compliance with the standards that could be determined. A six-month conditional license will be recommended. During the conditional period, the center will be subject to unannounced licensing inspections, with the first inspection taking place within the first sixty days of licensure.
If you have any questions, please contact Licensing Inspector.
