32 | Outdoor play area is a fenced playground with sufficient material for cushioning. Facility has an indoor pool (YMCA center) and has an approved waiver for it (dated 11/17/22). Classrooms have safety gates and alarms per waiver instructions. Climbing structures, swings and slides are securely fixed to the ground. Area has sails and canopies used for shade. Equipment is age appropriate. Area has drinking water readily accessible, and grounds are free of debris or potential hazards. LPAs observed a storage shed in the back patio area that was barricaded with a chair. Director stated that the handle broke off a couple days ago and that maintenance was coming to fix it tomorrow (9/20/24). LPA requested Director to send picture once the maintenance has been completed. Chair was a sufficient barricade to keep shed from opening and it was not easy to open. LPAs advised teachers to supervise this area until the shed has been fixed and locked. Per Director the storage shed has toys and equipment for the preschoolers and nothing hazardous in the shed.
