Purpose of Addendum

III.
During the renewal inspection, program director Sarah Bawks requested to
lower the capacity of the center as they were no longer using “The Village” as
approved space in determining the capacity of the center.
Ms. Bawks further stated that the center had also changed the location of the
infant and Toddler 1 room since the original issuance was approved and
requested that all rooms get re-measured.

Description of Findings and Conclusions
During the onsite inspection on February 24, 2014, Ms. Bawks requested to have
the entire center re-measured and to lower the capacity of the center.
The original licensing study dated October 28, 2002 approved the center for a
capacity of 125 children. The original issuance licensing study report approved
“The Village” as a room approved for school-age children. Ms. Bawks has stated
that the village is currently used as a multipurpose/large muscle area only. Other
changes made in the center since the original licensing study report consist of
changing two former preschool rooms to two separate school-age rooms. The infant
and toddler rooms were also switched since the original licensing study report.
The current capacity of the center is 161 children, with the approved age range of
birth through 12 years of age. A review of the licensing file was conducted. There
was no documentation of modification requests or modification reports approving
capacity increases from the original approval of 125 children. As a result all rooms
were re-measured to determine the appropriate use and capacity throughout the
center.
The center continues to prepare hot meals onsite. An Environmental Health
inspection was completed on June 26, 2013. The center has outdoor play structures
which have been inspected by a certified playground inspector on April 25, 2009.
The building was built in 2000 and does not require a lead inspection at this time.
There are a total of 14 toilets and 25 hand washing sinks throughout the center
which is an adequate amount for the approved capacity.

The following area is approved as additional child use space and was not used to
determine the center’s total capacity:
•
The Village is approved as a large muscle / multipurpose use room. This
room measured at 780 (20x39) square feet. When children birth to 2 ½ years
of age are utilizing this space, the total approved capacity for this room is
limited to 16 children at any one given time based on 50 square feet per child.
When children 2 ½ years of age through 12 years of age are utilizing this
space, the total approved capacity for this room is limited to 22 children based
3
on 35 square feet per child. Please note: When groups of children of mixed
ages are combined together in this space proper maximum group sizes would
need to be followed for all children under 3 years of age.

Recommendation
I recommend modifying the license to decrease the capacity from 161 to 145
children birth through 12 years of age.
