The director and I discussed these health and safety concerns and talked about the room arrangement and reducing the clutter. There is a plastic play yard in the main play area that sections off part of the room. Licensing encouraged the director and staff to utilize all of the usable space in the environment as outlined in their floor plans to meet the legislative requirements of 3.7 square meters per child.
