SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Unlicensed child day centers; staff-to-child ratio.  Provides that during designated daily rest periods and designated sleep periods of evening and overnight care programs, for children ages 24 months to six years, only one staff member counted for purposes of determining compliance with the mandatory staff-to-child ratio shall be required to be present with the resting or sleeping children. This bill provides that the staff member supervising resting or sleeping children shall be physically present in the same space as the children under supervision at all times, and shall be able to summon additional staff counted in the staff-to-child ratio without leaving the resting or sleeping children. All other staff members counted for the purpose of determining the staff-to-child ratio shall be present on the same floor as the resting or sleeping children and shall have no barrier to their immediate access to the resting or sleeping children.
