No; however, all outdoor activity areas used by children must
be accessible by a safe route. We must approve a plan to use an outdoor
activity space that is not connected to the child-care center, such
as a near-by park, schoolyard, rooftop, or other alternative. We will
consider the following criteria before approving the plan:
(1) Traffic patterns of vehicles and people in the
area;
(2) Ages of children in the groups;
(3) Availability of appropriate equipment;
(4) Usage of the location by other persons when the
children would be most likely to use it;
(5) Neighborhood circumstances, hazards, and risks;
(6) Accessibility to children and caregivers on foot
or the availability of push-carts or other means of transporting infants
and toddlers;
(7) Reasonable accessibility of restroom facilities;
and
(8) Ability to obtain assistance if needed when injury
or illness occurs.
