| Abstract: | Outdoor play is an important and integral part of a high-quality early childhood education curriculum. Outdoor play environments
should have equipment that is safe and developmentally appropriate for the children served. The appropriate adult-child ratio
should be maintained to prevent unnecessary accidents as well as provide the interaction needed to assist children in developing
outdoor physical, social, and language skills. Each facility should have teachers with up-to-date CPR and first-aid training
to take care of emergency situations. |
