Facilities Focus- Exterior Spaces
A checklist to get the exterior spaces at your center all cleaned up and ready to go!
Your outdoor areas are the very first thing families see—and first impressions are hard to undo. Whether it’s a tidy entrance, a safe and inviting playground, or clean and well-marked parking, the condition of your exterior spaces sends a strong message about the care and quality families can expect inside. Not to mention ensuring that everyone stays safe.
This checklist is designed to help you take a fresh look at the often-overlooked details of your building’s exterior. From playground safety to signage, landscaping to general cleanliness, this resource will help you spot and address issues before they become problems.
Use it as needed—during seasonal prep, ahead of tours, or when things start feeling a little... stale. A clean, safe, and well-maintained exterior isn’t just about looks—it boosts safety, reinforces professionalism, and creates a more welcoming experience for everyone who walks through your doors.
And don’t forget, since the checklist is already created, this would be a GREAT job to delegate to a Teacher or Assistant who has a little extra time on their hands!
