What is the maximum difference in height between stepped platforms for pre-school age without an alternate means of egress?

  1. 12 inches

  2. 18 inches

  3. 20 inches

  4. 6 feet

The correct answer is: 12 inches

The maximum difference in height between stepped platforms for pre-school age without an alternate means of egress is typically around 12 inches. This allows for young children to safely navigate between different levels without the risk of falling or tripping. The other options of 18 inches, 20 inches, and 6 feet are not ideal as they are either too high for young children to easily navigate or too high for them to reach without assistance. It is important to always consider the safety and capabilities of young children when designing and constructing playground equipment.
