Sujatha states that the playground layout has not changed since last inspection on 4/23/2020 and thus outdoor space was not measured during today's inspection during today's inspection. There is separate outdoor space for the Infant program and Preschool children. Sujatha understands that Infant and Preschool children cannot commingle.

OUTDOOR MEASURES:
3134.399 + 2057.830 + 6112.975 = 11,305.204

TOTAL OUTDOOR SPACE:
11305.204 sq. ft divided by 75 sq. ft per child = 150 CHILDREN

The playground area is surrounded by appropriate fencing. There is resilient material under high climbing structures. Shade is provided by canopies and building overhangs. Children bring their own water bottles during outdoor time. No bodies of water were observed during today’s inspection. Sujatha states that the facility is not providing Incidental Medical Services (IMS) at this time.
