To operate an urban child care facility, what documentation is required regarding outdoor play space?

• A. Documentation that outdoor play space meets minimum requirements
• B. Documentation that outdoor play space cannot be met
• C. No documentation is required
• D. Documentation that outdoor play space is optional

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is whether you must keep a separate document that proves your outdoor play space meets rules. In this context, no separate documentation is required to operate. What matters is that the outdoor space exists and meets the tested standards (size, safety, fencing, shade, surface, etc.). Licensing often verifies compliance through on-site inspections and ongoing maintenance rather than requiring a standalone certification or form showing the space meets the minimum requirements. So, you should be prepared for an inspector to check the space during a visit, but there isn’t a mandated document to file specifically proving outdoor space compliance. Always check your local regulations, but for this item, the expectation is that no extra documentation is needed.
