There was adequate cushioning underneath. There is no pool, spa, pond, fountain, or any other body of water on the premises. The poisons are locked in the storage closet. There is safe and age-appropriate furniture, toys, and play equipment available for children. A capacity worksheet was completed during the visit. School age in room 1 with 1 toilet and 1 urinal measured 783 square feet. Preschool in room 2.3&4 have 4 toilets and 1 urinal with a square footage of 2,212. This was not enough for the requested capacity of 91 children, so they reduced to 63 preschool & 22 school age.
