SECTION 744.113. Who is responsible for complying with these minimum standards?

(a) For a licensed before or after-school program or school-age program, the permit holder must ensure compliance with all minimum standards in this chapter at all times, with the exception of those minimum standards identified for specific types of child-care programs or activities that the operation does not offer. For example, if we license the operation to offer a before and after-school program, the operation does not have to comply with minimum standards that apply to nighttime-care programs; however, the operation must comply with all other minimum standards.

(b) For an unlicensed before or after-school program or school-age program that is subject to Licensing's regulation, the operation's director, owner, or person overseeing the operation or other controlling person who has the ability to influence or direct the operation's management, expenditures, or policies must ensure compliance with all minimum standards in this chapter at all times, with the exception of those minimum standards identified for specific types of child-care programs or activities that the unlicensed operation does not offer.
