Current through Reg. 50, No. 13; March 28, 2025

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.
