• PHYSICAL, EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHING / EnvironmentNon-critical

  A healthy and safe environment is provided at all times [CCLR Sec. 13(1)].

  Observation. *CCFL observed several long and sturdy pieces of yarn that had been strung up end to end like a spider web from the playhouse outside in the play yard. An educator explained that this was placed there by a practicum student a few days ago as per the children's interest. A discussion was held as to the danger of entanglement for infants/toddlers with this kind of set up and the educator mentioned that staff inside will sometimes monitor the area through the windows if the outside staff have moved away. This is not a safe option in a ratio environment.

• PHYSICAL, EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHING / Play Area, Materials and EquipmentNon-critical

  The entire outdoor play area is enclosed and constructed in a manner that is suitable for the age and development of children, and ensures that children are free of harm. [CCLR Sec. 16(3)(a)(b)]

  Observation. *There is an open corner at the top left of the fence where the climber meets the side of the brick storage shed. After closer examination it appears that the fence beneath and just to the side is climbable giving taller children access to this gap. The concern is that a child may fall in the gap between the chain link fence and the wooden climber or go over the fence completely to a steep drop outside of the childcare. While not an issue in the past, during today's visit it was noted that this program has several tall children attending who have all reached the maximum age of 3 years.
