Limitations on Capacity (a) A licensee shall not operate a child care center beyond the conditions and limitations specified on the license, including the capacity limitation. This requirement is not met as evidence by: 1 Director stated as of 7/27/23 preschool classroom and toddler classroom have not commingled. Director will re-submit her request for a waiver for preschool children and toddler children to combine in the morning from from 7am to 8 am. Based on LPA’s interviews, 4 out of 6 staff stated preschool children and toddlers are in the same classroom in the morning. S2 stated at 7:50am we clean up, and the toddlers clean up and go to their toddler play area. S3 stated at 8:00 am we go outside and we separate into their separate playgrounds. S6 stated the toddlers are combined with preschoolers in the morning, but then we separate at 8am, and they go into their separate yard. This action poses an potential risk to the health and safety to the child in care.
