Latasha Holmes, Site Manager, was present and assisted me when needed. The visit summary was reviewed with Ms. Holmes, and a copy was given to her at the conclusion of the visit. Upon arrival, I checked into the main office then proceeded to the gym to meet Ms. Holmes. I completed a general walk through the spaces used by the children and outdoor play areas. Although this DPI program does not want their playground to be monitored for child care requirements, I did check for safety concerns. The children were arriving to the program, transitioning to activities, and eating afternoon snack.
