wet and freezes, it requires a containment barrier, it is not wheelchair accessible, it is not
recommended with children under age 5 years (they may throw pebbles or place them into
their nose, ears, or mouth), and it can be slippery if scattered on concrete.

39. What hazards are associated with the use of wading pools or other forms of water play, including sprinklers and water
tables?
ANSWER:
Any amount of water presents a drowning hazard for young children and must, therefore, be
supervised at all times. At least one adult on site should be CPR certified. Water can also
harbor and contribute to the spread of some communicable illnesses, such as giardiasis and
cryptosporidiosis (if water is swallowed); wading pools must always be
monitored/supervised continuously, disinfected daily, and emptied when children are finished
playing.

41. Creating and maintaining safe environments for children requires continuous attention and, in some cases, additional
expense. Why is it important that teachers devote time and effort to this task?
ANSWER:
Safe environments support learning by encouraging children to explore and experiment
without fear of being hurt. In addition, they also reassure families that children will be safe
while they are away from home. Safe environments are less stressful for teachers to work in
and reduce the risk of avoidable injury to adults and children, decrease the potential for
liability due to negligence, and reduce the loss of time teachers would otherwise spend caring
for injured children.
