Outdoor activity space and playground equipment observed to be safe and free of hazards. Climbing equipment is properly anchored to the ground with adequate and appropriate cushioning material to absorb falls. There is a shaded area provided for the children. Required licensing documents were posted. Fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide and smoke detectors meet State Fire Marshall standards. Fire/Disaster drills are conducted at least every six months, and the log indicates the last drill was conducted on 6/14/19. The facility is operating within its licensed capacity. The teacher/child ratio was being met, and LPA did not observe any child left without supervision. LPA verified both opening and closing staff have current CPR/First aid training.
