Each of the two vanities in the toddler room and preschool room now no longer pose a falling hazard to the children in care. This was corrected by securing the vanity top of each to the base of each with "Kwik Seal Kitchen and Bath Adhesive Caulk". The base of each vanity was also weighted down by placing two 12 x 12 x 1.5 concrete pavers in each of the vanity bases. Each paver weighs 17 pounds, therefore adding 34 pounds to secure the bases from potentially tipping over. In the future, all vanity tops will be secured with adhesive caulk and all vanity tops will be weighted down to make certain they are durable, safe, and pose no risk of a falling hazard.
