The operator must maintain proper ratio at all times. In a center setting, when children are napping, it is allowable for staff to be engaged in other activities on the premises, such as cleaning or planning, as long as one staff person is directly supervising the napping children, and other staff counted in the ratio are readily accessible. When children are awake, staff ratio must be met with staff who are directly supervising the children.

 

On a weekly basis, the provider (family license) or director/supervisor (center/group/preschool/school age license) must be present at the program no less than 60% of the programs’ hours of operation. If the operator has legal responsibility and the administrative authority over two or more school-age child care programs, a director shared between two or more school-age child care programs shall be present, on a weekly basis, a combined total of sixty percent of the school-age programs' hours of operation.
