Notification to EEC
During a review of the case stating there was a “slight carbon monoxide detected in the ceiling” (on 1/5/2026), three classrooms (Infant 2, Toddler 1 and Toddler 2) were changed without notifying EEC. Infant 2 moved to the Motor Room. Toddler 1 and Toddler 2 rooms were moved into the Preschool 1 classroom. The Director stated all groups moved curriculum materials to the new spaces and the Preschool 1 room was separated into two spaces using furniture to separate the two toddler groupings. The licensee must notify the Department when possible, at least 30 days prior to any change in the space used by the program. If the licensee is unable to provide 30 days notice, the licensee must notify the Department by telephone immediately upon learning of the impending change.
Change of Space
The program submitted two cases via LEAD on 3/30/2026, notifying the Department of two incidents (from 12/29/2025 and 1/5/2026) that involved the Fire Department responding to the program and being on the premises. In the event of an incident on the child care premises (other than a false alarm) that results in a response by the fire department, the licensee must notify the Department by telephone within 24 hours of the incident. The licensee, if requested by the Department, must prepare and submit to the Department a written report regarding the incident.
