An unannounced renewal study was conducted in the newly renovated space. 6 children were present with 2 staff and were on the playground upon arrival. Observed transition into the classroom, hand washing and play time in the large open space. The program now offers before and after care as well as the dedicated preschool program. Additional staff are available for the extended day portion of the afternoon. Reviewed physical space, records for children and staff, emergency preparation, trainings and medication. Lunches are bought from home. The staff records and administrative records are kept at a central location with the Parks and Recreation staff. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program. Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance.
