Children will be supervised, and supervision groups will be maintained at all times. A lock has been placed on the playground gate and can only be opened with a key that is kept by staff. If classes are on the playground during pick up time, staff will unlock the gate when parents arrive to pick up children and then staff will lock the gate again after a child is picked up. This way the gate will not accidently be left open by any parents who are leaving, and the children will be safe and not be able to leave through the gate.
