Medium concern: Equipment or readiness
- Report finding
- 3.5(F), Handbook: The outdoor play area must have adequate fencing or walls a minimum of 4 feet in height. Fencing, including gates, must be continuous and must not have gaps or opening larger than 3 inches that would allow children to exit the outdoor play area. The base of the fence must remain at ground level, and be free from erosion or build-up to prevent inside and outside access by children or animals. These areas must have at least two exits, with at least one being remote from the buildings. If an outdoor play area was approved for usage by the Department prior to October 25, 2017, no new exits are required to be added to meet this standard. However, if outdoor play area fencing is changed then the standard would apply and two exits must be provided. The facilitys fencing was inadequate in that [See comments]. (Section 2.1(A) Health and Safety, Page 3) Indoor/Outdoor Space [SR]
- Inspector notes
- There were two areas of the fence observed not secured. The first area is located by the musical garden, and the second area is located by the right side of the smaller playground equipment. Per providers statement, program management is aware of the fence issue and is in the process of getting it fix by next week.
