During inspection Licensing noted that the main room, that had previously been set up as two separate programs for Group Child Care (school age) & Group Child Care (30 mth to school age), has been reconfigured back to just a Group Child Care (30 mth to school age) space.
Licensee stated that they decided not to offer the School Age Program until possibly Sept 2016.
Licensing was not informed of this decision and change of room set up.
Licensing reminds the Licensee that they are Licensed for Group Child Care (30 mth to school age) and Group Child Care (school age) and that they will need to reconfigure the main room back to the previously approved set up for the separate programs should they choose to begin to offer Group Child Care (school age) at a later date. Before the School Age program can begin Licensing would need to conduct an inspection to measure the spaces which have been set up for the 2 service types.
During inspection Licensing observed that there were toys and equipment accessible to children such as: dramatic play work bench and housekeeping area, books and board games, puzzles, fine motor building toys and arts and craft supplies.
During inspection children were in a circle time (with music, movement and story telling), worked on Letter worksheets or drew pictures, they then went outside for free outdoor play time.
Licensing observed staff persons telling children what was coming next to assist with transitions. Licensing also observed staff getting down to the children's levels to talk about the activities that they were involved in as well as assist with problem solving.
