25 | Licensing Program Analysts, Joelle Redding and Tresha Souza, made an unannounced visit to evaluate the kindergarten playground for use by the preschool on a staggered schedule. A waiver request has been submitted.
The playground is equipped with swings and a play structure, for children ages 2 to 5 years, both in good repair. There is sufficient cushioning around the play structure. Two tables are present with umbrellas which would not be sufficient in the afternoon when the sun is directly on the playground. Additional shade needs to be provided. While the entire area is fenced, there is large grassy area in front of outside bathrooms that will not be used. The preschool will limit the areas of use to the blacktop and the swing and will ensure there is adequate supervision to ensure children remain within this boundary. Water bottles will be used outdoors. Space is large and adequate for 24 children.
The facility will provide an additional awning for shade and submit an updated sketch of the areas of the playground that will be in use. Upon verification of this information and approval of the Waiver, the request to use the kindergarten playground for the preschool will be granted.
