The overall census observed was 6 (six) infant/toddler staff and 21 infant/toddler children.
During the inspection it was determined the facility is operating within its licensed capacity and within compliance with staffing ratios. Facility hours are 6:30a.m.- 6:30p.m., Monday through Friday. Parent/Guardian sign in and out, and procedure was reviewed for compliance. Facility uses an app called Procare. The person who signs the child in and out uses their full legal signature and records the time of the day.
