The following resources were provided:

The outdoor play area was observed while the children were in the facility. Some items on site such as litter and cigarette butts, were not safe for the health and safety of children in care. The staff Supervisor stated that the program completes a thorough playground inspection before they use the play area, and removes and disposes of these items prior to the children using the space. In addition the staff positions themselves in a way that provides active supervision. The Supervisor stated they provide materials for free play for the children to use. Another off-site outdoor play area is used 2-3 times per week. A written plan addressing the use and safety of the space, the route that is taken to the off-site area, and a site plan of the off-site outdoor play area must be submitted to Licensing for review. A resource to assist in the creation of this policy was provided.
