A complaint allegation was received alleging that the preschool is at capacity and the children are being taken to another school. Per Director/owner, there were 22 children present during inspection. A complaint inspection was conducted on 3/31/2023 and a walkthrough of the facility revealed the following; 22 children inside the facility. I asked them to let me see the playground because I heard children. They told me to hold on, therefore, i proceeded to open the back door myself. At that point, I saw a group of children walking toward the left side of the building with 2 adults. They appeared to be preschool children, so I asked the teacher (Ms. Marsha) who the children were and she stated that they belong to the private school located in the corner of the strip. I felt like I was being lied to so I followed the group of children around the building. I observed that most of the children were wearing McCloud Christian Academy Shirts and the teacher that was with them was a staff member mentioned on the complaint allegation (Mr. Zantwom). I counted a total of 18 children in this group, bringing the total count to 40 children. The license capacity is 24 and they exceeded it by a total of 16 children. Of the 22 children inside, the building, 4 were observed in an unlicensed space (Temple/hallway adjoining temple). TA was provided on the following; - Seek to add the temple to the facility's licensed capacity - Tell the truth, It is a misdemeanor of the first degree to make misrepresentations, by act or omission, regarding the licensure or operation of a child care facility or family day care home to a parent who has a child placed in the facility or home or is inquiring as to placing a child in the facility or home, or to a representative of the local licensing agency, or to a representative of law enforcement, including but not limited to, any misrepresentation as to: the number of children at the child care facility, etc
