Children will use the sinks to wash their hands and refill their water bottles as needed. In the toddler classroom #4, there are six old fashion windows that do not have screens and are difficult to open and close. These windows open from the middle horizontally and out.

Per licensee, this classroom will utilize the AC unit to provide fresh air as needed into the classroom. Each classroom has an area for cubbies and cots.
