Date Regulation Description Compliance Status as of last inspection
Jan 30, 2025 416.7(j) Children may not sleep or nap in car seats, baby swings, strollers, infant seats or bouncy seats. Should a child fall asleep in one of these devices, he or she must be moved to a crib/cot or other approved sleeping surface. Corrected
Jan 30, 2025 416.8(a) Children cannot be left without competent supervision at any time. Competent supervision includes awareness of and responsibility for the ongoing activity of each child. It requires that all children be within a caregiver's range of vision except as provided in section 416.8(b) of this Part and that the caregiver be near enough to respond when redirection or intervention strategies are needed. Competent supervision must take into account the child's age, emotional, physical and cognitive development. Corrected
Jan 30, 2025 416.8(b)(1) Children may be outside a caregiver's range of vision only as follows: With the prior written permission of the parent, children who are napping or sleeping may do so in a room where an awake approved caregiver is not present, the doors to all rooms must be open; the approved caregiver must remain on the same floor as the children; and a functioning electronic monitor must be used in any room where children are sleeping or napping and an awake approved caregiver is not present. Corrected
Jan 30, 2025 416.8(b)(2) Children may be outside a caregiver's range of vision only as follows: When a functioning electronic monitor is in use, napping and sleeping children must be physically checked every 15 minutes to assess the overall safety and well-being of the children and to make sure infants' faces are uncovered. The checks must be done in close physical proximity to the child. Corrected
*Violations are posted on this web site after the inspection results have been finalized in a report mailed to the provider.
