We must approve a plan to use an outdoor activity space area
that is not connected to your child-care home, such as a near-by park,
schoolyard, or other alternative. All outdoor activity areas used
by children must be accessible from the home by a safe route. 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 your care;
(3) Availability of appropriate equipment;
(4) Usage of the location by other groups when the
children would be most likely to use it;
(5) Neighborhood circumstances, hazards, and risks,
including the crime rate for the area;
(6) Accessibility to children and caregivers by 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.
