32 | Beyond the back yard is an “exploration field” that the applicant uses with the children once a month. A small gate that latches from behind leads to this area. This area is mostly fenced but does have some areas that open on the side next to the neighbor’s back yard. The neighbor has a pool that is surrounded by a partial cement wall and a see-through glass fence that appears to be 5 feet in height.
Beyond the "exploration field" is an open canyon that is a potential hazard since the area is not fully fenced. There are two storage sheds in this exploration area that are very difficult to open. LPA Lane advised extra supervision during these “field trips” to the back area because of these potential hazards.

LPAs advised that the sheet be tight-fitting and no blankets can be in the sleep area or hanging on the sides of the Pack N’ Play. (see LIC9210TA).
