factors: - ANSWER--Indoor usable space
-Outdoor square footage
-Sewer/septic capacity
-Number of toilets and wash bins
Rooms Occupied by Children - ANSWER-All areas of the child
care facility must have adequate lighting. A minimum of 20
foot-candles of lighting are required to ensure adequate
,brightness. In areas where children are working, such as
reading and art areas, 50 foot-candles at the work surface are
required. During naptime, lighting must be sufficient for staff to
visually observe and supervise children.
Screens are required when windows or doors are open for more
than entering or exiting purposes. Screens must be maintained
and prevent insects or rodents from entering the program.
Screens are not required for open-air classrooms or picnic
areas.
An inside temperature of 65°F-82°F must be maintained at all
times. Adequate ventilation must also be maintained, especially
in art areas, during cleaning or disinfecting, or pest control, in
order to prevent children and personnel from inhaling harmful
fumes.
Licensed Capacity - ANSWER-The licensed capacity of a child
care program is the maximum number of children that may be
cared for in the program at one time. Licensed capacity is
determined by the most restrictive of these factors. The total
number of children in care on-site and while on field trips may
never exceed the facility's licensed capacity.
,Child care programs are required to have a minimum of 35
square feet of usable indoor space for each child. However, if
the child care program held a license on October 1, 1992 and
has remained continuously licensed, it is required to have a
minimum of 20 square feet of usable indoor space for each
child.
Indoor Space - ANSWER-Usable indoor floor space is the space
available for children's use for indoor play, classroom
activities, and napping. Usable space also includes cubbies,
cabinets, and shelves that are used as open storage and is
accessible to the children. Non-usable space includes
stairways, toilet and bath facilities, permanent fixtures, and
non-moveable furniture. Additionally, kitchens or designated
food preparation areas, offices, laundry rooms, storage areas,
etc. are not included when determining usable floor space.
When infants are in care, they must have open indoor floor
space for them to crawl, beyond cribs and playpens. This can
be the same space used for cribs and plays pens, if they can be
moved to allow for open floor space.
School-age child care programs may request permission from
the licensing authority to operate under an exception to usable
indoor floor space. For example, the program may have a large
, outdoor play area with pavilions that they use for multiple
purposes, which could substitute for the lack of indoor space.
Rooms that are used for sedentary activities may have a
minimum of 20 square feet of usable space per child.
Each room routinely used as a classroom must provide the
minimum 35 square footage of usable indoor floor space per
child. During periods of transition, not to exceed 30 minutes,
when children are arriving in the morning and departing from
the child care facility in the evening, the indoor space
requirement is suspended but they must remain in compliance
with local fire ordinances.
Multipurpose Rooms
Outdoor Space - ANSWER-Outdoor space must be large
enough to keep children from getting hurt by colliding into one
another or being hit when children are using equipment, such
as swings. Outdoor play areas must be clean and free of litter,
nails, glass, and other hazards. Child care personnel must be
able to clearly see all children at all times. There must be shade
available in the outdoor play space, which may be provided by
trees, buildings, or structures. Metal and dark-colored surfaces
