Equipment
 

Items like child size, single use trampolines are not allowed in childcare settings.  Many preschool age and children with disabilities can benefit from equipment like this to help them control behaviors and/or allow for a physical single child use during indoor activity time in cases of bad weather ect.  Equipment like this is low to the ground and typically comes with a handlebar, when you compare this to higher playground equipment this seems like a much safer option.  Although an allowable variance is an option, our facility has been denied for an ADA accommodation.
