The facility currently has an outdoor waiver approved to allow 64 children to use outdoor play at a time. The outside play area is fully gated, sanitary, and in good condition. Outdoor play structures are appropriate for the age group, in great shape, and clear of loose components. Climbing structures are securely anchored, and all play structures have comfortable padding to absorb accidental falls.

All staff maintained immunization records. LPA reviewed the educational qualification of the staff, and all staff had the required ECE units. The Director stated that the Center conducts fire and earthquakes monthly; the last drill was conducted on May 22, 2022.
