The licensee has requested to serve 51 preschool children from ages 2 to 6 years old in classrooms 1, 5, and 6. The increase of capacity waiver will allow the facility to operate beyond its licensed capacity temporarily while the State of Emergency for Los Angeles and Ventura Counties is in effect. The facility received an approved fire clearance to operate at the capacity of 51 children. Hours of operation will be Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm.

The Licensee\342\200\231s waiver request has been submitted and reviewed to allow the facility to operate beyond their licensed capacity temporarily while the State of Emergency is in effect.

Once the waiver expires or is terminated, all licensing requirements shall be reinstated immediately, without any further action or notification by CDSS. CDSS may rescind or modify this waiver for any reason including but not limited to new federal, state, or local directives or guidance or for a failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this waiver.
