The school age restrooms are in the outside hallway of the preschool building. Staff will escort the school age children to the restrooms as needed.

In the outside play yard, the fencing bolts are too long and need to be cut down to 3 to 4 threads long. There is a red metal car with three black steering wheels. This play component has exposed metal and needs to be repainted. There is no climbing structure in the school age play yard. Licensee is using mature trees for shade.
