Upon arrival, I checked into the main office then proceeded to the gym to meet Ms. James. We completed a general walk through the spaces used by the children and outdoor play areas. Although this DPI program does not want their playground to be monitored for child care requirements, I did check for safety concerns. I observed the children arriving to the program, transitioning to activities, and eating afternoon snack.

Current activity plans were posted for each group. The theme for the week for both groups was “Flowers and Fun”. The required information was posted on the Parent Information Board. The site manager stated that the child with a food allergy did not have medication at school for the allergy. Two children had asthma medication in the school office, if needed during the school operating day. The asthma medication was unavailable when the school office was closed. PLAYGROUNDS: During today’s visit I observed that all three playgrounds had been enhanced. The playground nearest the gymnasium was used by the kindergarten group. One swing set had been removed; a golden climber had been added, along with new rubberized solid surfacing for the entire area. The playground on the lower level at the cafeteria currently consisted of a new golden/lime green multi-purpose climber with new rubberized solid surfacing.
