32 | The playground is not exclusive to the preschool program as it is shared between Options Surround Care School Age and Head Start Programs. Per Ms. Aguilar, when both programs are in session, a staggered schedule is followed to avoid co-mingling of different age groups. The yard is completely fenced with chain link fence. The playground includes hard yard and grassy areas where children can engage in social play and ride tricycles. There is also a climbing structure and swings which appear to be well anchored and are surrounded by rubber padding to absorb falls. A sandbox, which is covered when not in use, is available for children as well. Per staff, a pitcher and cups are taken outdoors to ensure that children are provided with water freely and as they wish. First Aid supplies are kept in a fanny packs and box and were inventoried for quantity and expiration dates. Staff's first aid/CPR expires 7/20/2024.
