Violation
The number of children was/were exceeded as evidenced by total number of children present in the facility was 43 and their license capacity is 30. Director, Sarah Shank, says that they do this every summer. There is an approved overlap which would allow them to have an additional 1/3 capacity from 11a-1p, but this exceeded this amount.
