The two outdoor preschool playgrounds (preschool playground is in the front of the Little and Jr Viking classrooms and Middle Viking playground is connected to the Middle Viking classroom) were inspected and measures a total of 3,406 square feet which is sufficient for 45 children. The Middle Viking playground is fenced and includes an outdoor activity structure, a shaded area including tree’s and a cement building awning. Drinking water is readily available during outdoor play via movable water pitchers. Proper supervision and placement of staff on the playground was advised to ensure the safety of children at all times.

A fire clearance for 76 preschool children was granted on 08/17/20.

The following is needed prior to issuance of the capacity increase:
  • A plan of operation to ensure supervision is in place when utilizing the stairs during transition to and from the Middle Viking classroom
  • Playground waiver is needed as there is insufficient space to accommodate the requested capacity of 76. Capacity based on total outdoor square footage can only accommodate 45 children.


No deficiencies issued during today’s visit. An exit interview was conducted with the Director. LPA discussed and provided the following to Director: LIC809, LIC809-C, Notice of Site Visit and Appeal Rights. LPA informed Director once waiver request and plan of operation is received and approved by the Department the capacity increase will be granted.
