Evidence: During the initial inspection of the facility on 9/26/2022, there were no spaces designated for children to store their personal belongings aside from several sets of drawers for the infants' belongings to be stored. The program director acknowledged that children, other than infants, did not have a space for placing their personal belongings and stated that she has purchased hooks which will be installed in the classrooms. Children will be asked to bring their belongings to the center in a knapsack or backpack which can be hung on individually assigned hooks.”

“Based on observation and interview, not all areas and equipment inside and outside of the center are maintained in a clean, safe, and operable condition. Evidence: The threshold on the floor at the doorway between the pre-k rooms and the infant/toddler suite has several layers of material that protrude approximately 1/2 inch above the floor. This raised threshold poses a trip hazard. The program director acknowledged the hazard and stated that she has already asked the contractor to remedy the problem.”
