The authorized agent shall submit a plan of outdoor space to the regional office. There must be a minimum of at least 75 square feet of outdoor space per child in child care.

 

1. If available play space does not accommodate the licensed capacity of the child care at one time, the total appropriate outdoor play space available must be no less than what would be required for the largest number of children in the class or group.

 

2. It is expected that outdoor space will be located on the child care grounds. If an operator wishes to use outdoor play space located off site, such as a near-by park as the program’s outdoor space, that space must be preapproved by the central office.
