Based on observation, the center did not ensure that where playground equipment was provided, resilient surfacing was maintained in fall zones.

Evidence: There was less than one inch of mulch around the composite play structure on the preschool playground.
Plan of Correction: Mulch has been raked to the correct depth in fall zones. We are researching alternate resilient surfacing options.
