We walked to her office and gather records I would need to review and then I set up in cafeteria where I could observed all three groups once afterschool children were dismissed from day school. I reviewed the licensing notebook you provided will all required records to monitor, along with reviewing records posted on the ASEP board in the cafeteria.

Centers for all three groups were reviewed and found meeting compliance. Current activity plans were posted and listed the activities that were made available.
