Pre-licensing visit·October 12, 2023

On 10/12/23 at 9:21am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Samantha Clenista conducted an announced Pre-licensing follow-up inspection. Upon arrival, LPA met with Facility Representatives, Diane Prospero (Children\342\200\231s Paradise Director of Child Development) and newly assigned center director, Vanessa Sanchez. The purpose of this visit is to follow-up on corrections listed during LPA Clenista\342\200\231s inspection dated 10/10/23. LPA took a tour of the facility per facility sketch to ensure the corrections were met. LPA observed the following corrections to be met during inspection: adding a gate/fence to make the crib area in Room 3 separate from the activity space and removing the barrier and cribs located in Room 4. The only items still pending prior to licensure are obtaining an approved shared playground waiver to share the infant playground at separate times with no more than 20 children and submit updated LIC200A reflecting 36 capacity which facility representatives stated will be emailed to LPA once completed. Once all remaining corrections are obtained, reviewed and after conducting a final file review, an infant license for 36 infants (0-24 months) in Room 3 and Room 4 room may be granted.
