The footing of the exterior is varied (artificial turf, sand, dirt, and concrete pavement). Shade is provided by things like wooden pergolas and by building overhangs throughout. There are a number of storage containers throughout the playgrounds that contain toys and equipment for children in care. Director attested that children are always supervised while outside and that the outdoor area is inspected prior to letting children outside.

A sampling of staff and children's records were reviewed. The children’s records were complete and were found to contain emergency contact information as well admission agreements, among other relevant licensing documents and forms. Staff records were reviewed and contained current pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications (EMSA approved) and Mandated Reporter Training certificates.
