Does the State inspect your program?

Yes. We are reviewed annually by both surveyors from Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM).

KDHE surveyor message, November 2021

KDHE STATE INSPECTION: We are reviewed annually by KDHE surveyors. These visits happen during preschool hours and are unannounced so therefore we are not able to alert you ahead of time about their visit. We do our best to carry on with our preschool routines, but Kristin is often pulled to the side for answering questions. Findings from inspections will be shared with families and can be found by visiting this link.

A preschool license in the State of Kansas must meet the same requirements as Child Care Centers and Head Start facilities. For your information, here are the 22 pages of items we must be in compliance with:

STATE OF KANSAS FIRE MARSHAL INSPECTION: Each year, we are reviewed twice by State of Kansas Fire Marshal (once for the preschool and once for the church). Findings from inspections will be shared with families and our current approval letter is posted. A licensed preschool in the state of Kansas must meet the same requirements as Child Care Centers and Head Start facilities with the OSFM (Office of State Fire Marshal).

Additionally, we check our fire extinguishers monthly and have them inspected/maintained yearly by Dragon Slayers, a local agency.
