What the inspector wrote

On 10/25/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Selina Siao conducted an unannounced case management. Upon arrival, LPA met with Site Director Sandrine Buntin to conduct a tour of the facility to gather census of the children and staff members. The following census was observed today: Classroom 1/Hedgehogs Class had 8 children supervised by teacher Jessica Garnett aka Hunter and there were 17 children from classroom #2 and #3 at the preschool playground supervised by teacher Heloise Buntin and Letitia Robbins. Teacher aide Maria Montenegro is also at the facility helping with the preschool children. At the toddler playground there were 3 toddlers supervised by licensee Anita Okolo. Licensee Anita Okolo is enrolled in an Infant/Toddler course and therefore she is not a qualified toddler teacher.
