Playground Procedures Policy To maintain a safe and consistent environment for all children and staff, the following procedures must be followed at all times: 1. Playground Access - No class is permitted to use their classroom door to enter or exit the playground. - All classes must use the designated hallway exit and entry points assigned for playground transitions. 2. Name-to-Face Verification • Classroom teachers will complete a name-to-face check before leaving the classroom to go outside. • Classroom teachers will complete a name-to-face check before leaving the playground to come back inside. • An administrator will verify each name-to-face check before the class goes outside and again before the class comes inside. • Classroom teachers will only complete each name-to-face check once—once before leaving the classroom and once before leaving the playground. 3. Communication Equipment - Walkie-talkies are required whenever a class is on the playground. - Walkie-talkies will be stored on the metal shelf outside the laundry room. - Staff must ensure a walkie-talkie is taken outside and remains functional during playground use. 4. Staff Responsibility - Classroom staff are responsible for ensuring all procedures are followed. - Any concerns or safety issues must be reported to administration immediately. Reporting All staff and Board members of Gloria Ainsworth Child Care and Learning Center, Inc. will immediately notify Child Care Services upon the identification of any non-compliance. Failure to notify will result in immediate termination. Playground Fencing Currently the children will enter and exit the front playground through the Yellow 1 classroom, and once the fencing is extended, they will utilize the front exit. This will allow the staff to walk out of the front exit door and enter into the fenced in walkway that was previously just an open sidewalk.
