It was based in a church so it's a typical church gym. There isn't a lot of fancy equipment but they do have a little slide, scooters, balls and other "gross motor" toys. I believe it is required by the state to have a separate place for exercise and play so they can have that time everyday regardless of the weather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-los-schooldaycare-have-an-indoor-play-area#post-2363342 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 14:47:04 +0000 yoursilverlining 2363342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, but the classrooms are big and they do yoga and physical activities inside when it's nasty out and take walks around the building. They still go outside when it's raining and snowing, as long as it's not a huge storm or blizzard. They don't have bikes/scooters outside either; just slides/equipment/huge sandbox, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-los-schooldaycare-have-an-indoor-play-area#post-2363331 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 14:39:37 +0000 cascademom 2363331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our old daycare had a studio space and an indoor playspace. Our new one doesn't. I'm a little sad about that, but I'm sure that they're prepared for the weather and how to entertain them during winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-los-schooldaycare-have-an-indoor-play-area#post-2363330 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 14:38:45 +0000 BlueWolverine 2363330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish, but no. When LO was at a small church day care, they used the fellowship hall, but not at her new preschool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-los-schooldaycare-have-an-indoor-play-area#post-2363328 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 14:38:00 +0000 fancyfunction 2363328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, M just calls it the big room.<br /> It has lots of stuff for when they can't go outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-los-schooldaycare-have-an-indoor-play-area#post-2363327 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 14:37:49 +0000 looch 2363327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have a playspace, it's technically the museum, but it's pretty cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-los-schooldaycare-have-an-indoor-play-area#post-2363319 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 14:35:31 +0000 Freckles 2363319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's preschool is in an elementary school so they get to use the gym. DS has a toddler indoor playground and a "gross motor skills" gym. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-los-schooldaycare-have-an-indoor-play-area#post-2363298 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 14:28:27 +0000 Truth Bombs 2363298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, they call it "the enrichment room". It's also where they have their big presentations when there is a magic show or an animal guest, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-los-schooldaycare-have-an-indoor-play-area#post-2363280 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 14:18:40 +0000 snowjewelz 2363280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, but they're still the infants technically so I don't think they go there yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-los-schooldaycare-have-an-indoor-play-area#post-2363279 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 14:18:29 +0000 regberadaisy 2363279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, it's their gym/lunch room. Being in Upstate Ny it's pretty much a must! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-los-schooldaycare-have-an-indoor-play-area#post-2363275 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 14:17:07 +0000 Bao 2363275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some type of room that would replace outdoor recess if the weather were not good? My LO mentions going to the "RT" room on rainy days which has slides, scooters, balls etc. She seems to really like it, it's not very big (not even close to a gym) but just an extra room with space to run around and play. I think it's a nice alternative! </p>
