The white structure with the double yellow slides did not have an adequate depth of safety surfacing as is required. In addition, the structure does not have a manufacture label indicating the age group usage for the equipment. It is recommended that the program consult with the certified playground safety inspector regarding this.
A walk through of the outside playground space indicated the following: -There is what appears to be a homemade web-like rope climbing section adjacent to the large grey and green climbing structure. There are 6 wood pilings/poles of varying heights (approximately 4-7 ft tall) that have rope intertwined and connected in many different directions and heights. The effect of this appears to be similar to a geo-dome rope obstacle for children to climb. -There is a similar secondary web-like roped area in a tree adjacent to the building itself, nearest the windows of the mixed Toddler/Preschool class. Neither of these rope-like structures are approved "climbing structures" and must be immediately removed as both are a potential safety issue for children. -There is a blue nap mat that appears to be somehow fastened to a tree on the playground next to a piece of a large tree branch that lays on the ground. It is unclear as to how and why the program has these items there and their intended purpose.
