The Office shall require the child day care program to immediately post upon receipt, in a prominent place at the program that is visible to parents, a copy of the most recent compliance history report issued to the program by the Office.

Toilet facilities must be kept clean at all times, and must be supplied with toilet paper, soap and towels accessible to the children.

The premises must be kept clean and free from dampness, odors and the accumulation of trash.

All child care programs must have at least one caregiver who holds a valid certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid on the premises of the child care program during the program's operating hours.

Each group family day care home which has been issued a license by the Office must openly display such license and all waivers, limitations and restrictions in the home for which it was issued.

The group family day care home must report to the Office: any change affecting, or which reasonably might be expected to affect, those portions of the building and property in which the program is operating or which are used for the children's egress in the case of emergency; any change in household members; and any other change that would place the home out of compliance with applicable regulations.

Trash, garbage and combustible materials must not be stored in the furnace room, or in rooms or outdoor areas adjacent to the home that are ordinarily occupied by or accessible to children. If there is not a separate, enclosed furnace room, trash, garbage and combustible materials must not be stored within four feet of the furnace.

Suitable precautions must be taken to eliminate all conditions in areas accessible to children which pose a safety or health hazard.

Barriers must exist to prevent children from gaining access to any swimming pool, drainage ditches, wells, ponds or other bodies of open water located on or adjacent to the property where the day care program is located. Such barriers must be of adequate height and appropriately secured to prevent children from gaining access to such areas.

Protective caps, covers or permanently installed obstructive devices must be used on all electrical outlets that are accessible to children.

All matches, lighters, medicines, drugs, detergents, aerosol cans and other poisonous or toxic materials must be stored in their original containers, and must be used in such a way that they will not contaminate play surfaces, food or food preparation areas, or constitute a hazard to children. Such materials must be kept in a place inaccessible to children.

There must be a cushioned surface under all outside play equipment that present a fall hazard. Surfacing may not include concrete, asphalt, grass or hard compacted dirt.

Each group family day care home must provide a sufficient quantity and variety of materials and play equipment appropriate to the ages of the children and their developmental levels and interests, including children with developmental delays or disabilities, which promote the children's cognitive, educational, social, cultural, physical, emotional, language and recreational development.
