17. Outdoor Play Area/Fencing CCF Handbook, Section 3.5 (17-05)

The facilitys outdoor play space was not enclosed with fencing or walls a minimum of 4 feet in height. CCF Handbook, Section 3.5, F Physical Environment [SR] Comments: Upon inspection of the outdoor play area, the Licensing Specialist observed that the playground fence measured 3 feet 10 inches in height, which is below the required minimum height of 4 feet. Additionally, a fenced swimming pool belonging to the condominium where the child care facility is located is situated directly behind the playground area. The insufficient fence height could allow children access to the adjacent pool area, creating a potential safety hazard and risk of harm to children in care. 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 buildup 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 Due: 9/17/2026 Source: FL DCF CARES inspection 2026-06-17.
