The above table shows no more than 14 children would be on site at one time. Per the applicant's project description, daily activities typically include free play, circle and music time, small and large group activities, and reading and math for TK-K students. Outdoor play times are generally scheduled for an hour in the morning (beginning around 10 a.m.) and an hour in the afternoon (beginning around 4 p.m.).

The part-time assistant normally arrives at noon and stays for the afternoon. One of the staff members will be responsible for picking up TK-K and elementary school students from local schools after schools are dismissed in the afternoon. While one is doing pickups, the others would remain on premises to care for the children. The subject residence includes a two-car garage that would be reserved for use by the applicant and one of her assistants. The driveway would be made available for parents during drop-off and pick-up times. There are also two on-street spaces directly in front of the home that will be available to the part-time assistant and parents to park for drop-off and pick-up.
