Based on observation, facility did not ensure areas and equipment of the center, inside and outside, shall be maintained in a clean, safe and operable condition.
Evidence: The following was observed during inspection:
1. One of three toilets in the hall bathroom is not operable with a sign "out of order" on the lid.

3. Two tricycles on the playground were missing a foot pedal.
4. The privacy fence on one portion of the playground did not reach the ground level (approximately 1' opening) and could allow a child to crawl out of the play area. Owner stated trees had recently been removed that had blocked the openings.Plan of Correction: A plumber has been contacted to come repair the leak from the toilet.
