The classroom has two restrooms, play centers including: building, art, puzzles, books/listening, dollhouse, and kitchen, and a rear fire exit leading to our baseball field. As part of the center, outside there is a baseball field, fenced in play area, sandbox, and cement patio. Nearby is a public picnic shelter and two playgrounds.
