This preschool playground safety checklist helps you maintain a secure outdoor play environment specifically designed for children ages 2-5. Nationwide Children’s Hospital reports that over 213,000 kids end up in emergency rooms each year because of playground injuries, with the majority of those injured being between 2 and 9 years old.

You can use this checklist to conduct regular inspections, identify potential hazards before they cause injuries, and document your compliance with CPSC and ASTM safety standards. The format allows you to quickly assess critical safety elements while creating a thorough record that demonstrates your commitment to playground safety and regulatory compliance.

Frequently asked questions

What specific playground equipment modifications are needed for preschoolers versus older children?

Preschool equipment (for ages 2-5) should have lower platforms, smaller steps, and more accessible handrails than school-age equipment. Slides should have slower speeds and gentler slopes. Avoid equipment requiring advanced upper body strength, and make sure all equipment has appropriate guardrails for the developmental abilities of younger children.

How can I use this checklist to demonstrate compliance during licensing inspections?

Complete the checklist regularly and note when issues were identified and resolved. Take photos to document both problems and corrections. This creates a comprehensive safety record showing your proactive approach to playground maintenance. It helps you meet regulatory requirements when licensing inspectors visit your facility.

What should I do when I find an item that fails the safety check?

Immediately restrict access to any unsafe equipment by using safety cones, caution tape, or removing the equipment if possible. Document the issue with photos and notes on your checklist. Next, create an action plan with clear responsibilities and timelines for repairs. Follow up to verify that repairs meet safety standards before allowing children to use the equipment again.
