Carla is the teacher for the four-year-olds, while Kelly is the teacher for the two-year-olds. Late Monday morning, Carla and Kelly are sharing the outdoor play area with their two groups of children. They are standing at the fence talking about their weekend. Children are on the climber, in the sandbox, bouncing balls off the fence and riding their tricycles on the bike path. A parent entered the playground and dropped off a child following a last-minute doctor appointment. Carla and Kelly continue to talk to one another. In your initial post, answer the following questions: 

1. How would you approach the situation if you are the program director?
2. What are some of the potential risks that may occur while Kelly and Carla are catching up in the play area?
3. What might Kelly and Carla do to reduce the potential risk?
