Info

• Refer to your copy of the rules for the required sink/toilet ratios. Note that all applications received after 12/22/09 are required to meet revised Rule 591-1-1- .06(1) for the correct number of toilets. Two potty chairs are no longer allowed as a substitute for an additional toilet. • Your building should be designed to allow for supervision of children during toileting. Bathrooms must be in or adjacent to classrooms for children 2 years of age. This means a shared wall or immediately across from the classroom door with a direct line of sight. For children 3 years of age and older, bathrooms must be no more than 40 feet from the classroom door and a written supervision plan must be on file. • Toilet facilities for four-year-old children and older must be screened for privacy (for example: partitions or dividers between toilets). • Supplies should be in children’s reach: tissue should be in the child’s reach when seated on the toilet; liquid soap and paper towels must be in the child’s reach at the sink. The use of a stool or platform is permissible for the child to reach the sink and all supplies. KITCHEN/LAUNDRY/BUILDING SAFETY & REPAIR If you plan to use non-disposable eating and drinking utensils, kitchens must have proper dishwashing facilities. • This includes either a 3 compartment sink or a 2 compartment sink with a dishwasher that meets sanitizing criteria. • An approved dishwasher has a sani-cycle or maintains rinse water of 150 degrees. If you have difficulty locating a suitable dishwasher, you may consider installing a booster heater, a separate hot water heater, or using an approved sanitizing agent. • Refrigerator must be 40 degrees or lower and the freezer must be 0 degrees. • Areas for food preparation must be non-porous, easily cleaned and have no unsealed cracks or seams. • Areas for storage of food, eating utensils and cookware must be provided.
• If your facility plans to have catered food, the caterer must have a Food Service Permit and a current inspection report and provide you with current copies of both documents to maintain in your records. LAUNDRY • Must be separate from child care areas. • Must contain covered storage for soiled linens. Note: Children cannot pass through kitchens or laundry areas to reach other parts of the facility or playground. BUILDING SAFETY AND REPAIR • Walls, floors and ceilings should not have holes, cracks or tears, chipping paint, peeling wallpaper, or sharp edges. • Carpeting and vinyl must be pulled tightly and the seams secured to avoid any hazards, such as tripping. • Screens, guards or other types of barriers must protect any type of heating or cooling equipment accessible to children. Screens should not get hot to the touch. • It is important to develop a system of maintaining the building in good repair.
