Infant and Toddler Outdoor Play Space Assessment

|
Infant and Toddler Outdoor Play Space Assessment is made up of eight categories that are used to rate an existing play space or to help design a new one. It is best completed during an outdoor walk-through. Criteria for each category are listed in the left-hand column. Score the play space using the rating scale in the center column and circle the number that best reflects its present state. Use the right-hand column to make additional comments, such as strengths, areas for improvement, high or low priority, and ideas. If you are using this tool to help plan a new play space, simply ignore the ratings scale column.
