[NickCarter]

3.3. What makes a safe indoor environment for young children? A safe outdoor environment for young children?

Indoor:
-For meals and snacks what makes it safe is checking for recalled food items, expired food, and for mouthy toddlers double check and make sure all materials are not toxic.
-Making sure indoor plants aren't toxic
-Can the provider see all children at all times
-Making sure all soft surfaces (couches, pillows, etc) are able to be cleaned
-Children have materials safe for their ages

Outdoor:
-Making sure spaces are separated for different kinds of play
-Fall zones
-protective surfaces
-Fencing

[Sierra]

Toys must not fit through a choke tube, they must be clean and intact, outside there must not be anything sharp or rusted.
