As aforementioned, part of the backyard is accessible to children in care. The accessible area is fully enclosed by wooden + metal fencing, and the home building. The fence’s entry and exit gates are secure with latches. The footing of the backyard area is varied, and comprised of tiles and grass. There are multiple play structures and features in the backyard area, which LPAs found to be in good condition and age-appropriate, and which afford plenty of shade for the children’s comfort. LPAs note there are two sheds in the accessible portion of the backyard, which contain various household items, and which remain locked & off-limits. LPAs observed no bodies of water on site and confirmed that this was the case with the Licensee. LPAs reminded the Licensee of the importance of direct supervision over children in care, and to conduct inspections of the outdoor area prior to letting children outside.
