The smaller section can support 19 children and the larger section of the room supports 23 children. LPA Ouye advised the director that the maximum group size for toddler is 12 children. The toddlers must have their own toilet and sink that is not used by preschool age children. LPA provided the director with the preschool/toddler regulation and health and safety code for informational purpose. The outdoor area is sufficient to support the toddlers with the exception of the play structure. LPA advised the director that a rotational waiver could be approved as long as the toddlers and the preschool children are not commingled and when the toddlers are using the outdoor activity area the play structure would need to be made inaccessible. The director would need to updated their admission agreement and parent handbook to add toddler information as specified in the supplied regulation and health and safety code if they are to move forward with adding the toddler option.
