The waiver allows no more than 21 preschool children at the time and the rotational schedule required. The outdoor play area is maintained clean and free of debris. The outdoor play area is completely fenced, clean, and in good repair. Outdoor play structures are in good condition and free of loose parts, and soft cushioning is underneath all play structures to absorb accidental falls.
