Play Area 1 measured at 1,914 sq. ft., Play Area 2 measured at 1,122.3 sq. ft., Garden Area measured at 1,222.49 sq. ft., Lunch Area measured at 1,542 sq. ft., and Play Area 3 measured at 1,751 sq. ft. The total square footage for all outdoor play areas measured at approximately 7,551.79 sq. ft., which will accommodate no more than 100 children at one time. When LPA’s inspected the outdoor play areas, LPA’s observed canopies and trees used for shade. There is a shade used in Play Area 1 that was observed broken due to the storm, that shall be repaired prior to licensure. Play Area 2 has a play structure that does not have an age appropriate verification for it. LPA’s observed sand underneath the play structure, however, does provide the appropriate cushioning for a fall. All outdoor play areas are completely fenced in via wooden planks that are more than 4ft. high. Drinking water is readily accessible inside and outside the classroom via refillable water jugs and refillable water bottles.
