- Daily outdoor play is a required part of the daily schedule. It is recommended that, weather permitting; children receive outdoor play time twice per day, totaling 60-90 minutes. The outdoor play area should encourage physical activity with a variety of safe equipment, open grassy areas, wheeled toys, and balls and other sport equipment.
- If weather does not permit outdoor play, the provider must schedule adequate time for active physical movement indoors. For ideas on physical games and activities that are appropriate for indoors, providers may contact CCR&R.
- Providers and staff should encourage children to be active by joining in physical activity with the children.
