Facility-requested visit·September 19, 2025

On 09/19/2025 at 09:00 am, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA), Griselda Castellon and Kelli Waters arrived for an announced pre-licensing corrections visit to inspect and approve the additional playground fencing surrounding the toddler and preschool playground. Upon arrival, LPA met with Director Laura Humble, toured the facility, playground area and took census. Upon inspection, LPAs observed the toddler and preschool playground is surrounded by a double chain link fencing and does not obscure the creek view. The double chain-link fence measures 5 ft tall. The chain link that is being added has small openings that measure about 1.75 inches and prevent climbing. The overall height of the chain link fence is 6 ft tall. The entrance to the toddler and preschool playground gates are self-latching that swings away from the creek, self-close, and have a self-latching device located six inches from the top of the gate. The licensee was reminded to clean the leaves from the trees to ensure the gate can open and close with ease. There is a third gate in the preschool playground that is near the swing set. That gate also self-latches that swings away from the creek, self-close, and self-latching device located six inches from the top of the gate. However, as the gate closes the latch catches onto the gate. Laura spoke with the maintenance staff to fix the latch to ensure the gate closes correctly. This will be completed by the end of next week on 09/26/2025. Laura will provide pictures and video to ensure the gate self-closes. Lastly, this gate has a pad lock to make it inaccessible to children and staff. The only entrance to the preschool playground is from the gate near the toddler playground. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Laura Humble.
