We have a lovely park right across the street from us, huge play structures; often the first thing potential daycare parents & children remark about on first visit. I have to be honest, I have taken my daycare children there once in 2 years...and that was at 9am before anyone else was there. It just makes me so nervous when I can't see all of them at once. We do have another mostly fenced in, really small park (no play structure, just some swings) a 15 min walk away and that is where I do take them all (usually with a picnic lunch). I am blessed with being at the end of a tiny dead end street and with a big fenced in back yard...so we spend a lot of our outdoor time right at home.
