Pre-licensing visit·August 18, 2021

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Glenn Ouye met with applicant to conduct a prelicensing inspection of the facility. The interior and exterior of the facility was inspected and measured to confirm capacity. The interior and exterior support the regulated square footage to meet the capacity. A capacity determination worksheet will be included with the file. There are smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in each room as well as fire extinguishers in each room rated at 2A10BC. There are four toilets and and four sinks for the preschool children. The sign in and sign out is done at the main entrance just outside of the front door. Covid-19 wellness checks are also done in conjunction with the daily sign in. There is sufficient furniture, equipment and toys for the children. There is also sufficient cots for the children during nap time. The outdoor area has multiple areas with adequate shade. There is sufficient wood bark used as fall protection for the play structure. The children will use personalized water bottles or disposable paper cups for hydration. The new owner indicated that the program will remain the same after the center is licensed. The application is still being reviewed and the LPA is still waiting for the approved fire inspection and financial verification from the applicant's financial institution. LPA Ouye and LPA Strother will return for a final prelicensing visit just prior to licensure.
