The Licensee has requested to add a Toddler Option component to their existing pre-school license/program. During the inspection, LPAs Moorehead and Caywood initially met with Site Supervisor Stefanie Sorgiovanni. Then, LPAs toured the facility with Executive Director Linda Kirwan, Site Supervisor Stefanie Sorgiovanni and Office administrator Jessica Fowles, took a census, and discussed the purpose for today\342\200\231s inspection. The proposed Toddler Option room (which is currently licensed as a preschool room) does not have age-appropriate furniture/supplies for children in a Toddler Option program.

The toddler option area will be located in Classroom 4. The requested Toddler option classroom is designated for Toddlers ages 18 months through 36 months. Classrooms 3, 5, and 6 will be designated for preschool children ages 2 years old through kindergarten. Measurements were taken by LPAs during today's visit. Updated Parent Handbook, facility sketch, and Personnel report (LIC 500), and classroom schedule were requested. The equipment observed on the playground outside of the facility is age appropriate for toddlers.
