Steps
Confirm your center is subject to NC DHHS Division of Child Development and Early Education licensing rules for outdoor play areas.
Verify the outdoor play area is protected by adequate fencing/protection and meets the applicable square-footage-per-child standard.
Confirm required staff safety training hours are completed and documented, covering playground hazards, supervision, and maintenance/upkeep topics as specified by the Division.
Use the NC DHHS Playground Inspection Checklist (from ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov) as your documented inspection tool.
Ensure active staff supervision practices during outdoor play are documented as part of your compliance record, not just equipment condition.
Known gotchas
Training-hour requirements and outdoor-space minimums are set by rule and can be revised — verify current figures on ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov rather than an older cached document.
Passing an equipment inspection does not substitute for documented staff training and active supervision requirements, which are checked separately in NC licensing reviews.
