The base of the fence in the outdoor play area was not at ground level and could allow inside or outside access by children or animals. CCF Handbook, Section 3.5, F (Section 2.1 Health and Safety, Page 3) Physical Environment [SR] Comments: Licensing Specialist observed one gate on the playground that was not at ground level during inspection. Licensing Specialist gave technical assistance during inspection from the Child Care Facility Handbook: 3.5 Outdoor Play Area F. The outdoor play area must have adequate fencing or walls a minimum of 4 feet in height. Fencing, including gates, must be continuous and must not have gaps or opening larger than 3 inches that would allow children to exit the outdoor play area. The base of the fence must remain at ground level and be free from erosion or build up to prevent inside and outside access by children or animals. These areas must have at least two exits, with at least one being remote from the buildings. If an outdoor play area was approved for usage by the Department prior to October 25, 2017, no new exits are required to be added to meet this standard. However, if outdoor play area fencing is changed then the standard would apply, and two exits must be provided. Corrective Action: Provider is to repair gate, maintaining the requirement of the gate/fence being at ground level. Provider is to submit a picture to Licensing Specialist via e-mail showing documenting that the gate/fence is at ground level. Source: FL DCF CARES inspection 2024-12-06.
