Separate Play Area for Twos
 

8VAC20-781-240 Areas

G. Infants, toddlers, and twos shall have a separate outdoor play area or shall not occupy the outdoor play area at the same time as preschool and school-age children.

  • Requiring centers that do not have infants or toddlers to have a separate playground for twos will result in some centers refusing to accept twos.
  • If centers are forced to divide outdoor time among ages, it will result in less outdoor time for all children.
  • Please continue to allow two to play with preschool children.
