Space (health risks) - R Apr 2025
The educator has a fenced in backyard. Front yard is currently being used; however, the educator lives adjacent to a busy road and therefore the children cannot play in the front yard unless it is fully fenced in with a permanent fence that is at least 4 feet in height. Discussed the educator installing a garden fence that can be staked into the ground or removing hazards in the backyard so the children can use that space. Licensor will need to conduct a follow up visit to inspect the outdoor play space choice made by the educator. A small trampoline was observed on the front yard. The use of trampolines is prohibited in childcare.
