SECTION 745.139. What will Licensing do if I operate a combination of exempt and regulated programs?

(a) If the programs are separate, each program that meets the criteria for an exemption is exempt. If they are not separate, then they are all subject to our regulation, unless the exempt program meets the exemption described in §745.115(1)(B) of this division.

(b) To demonstrate that the programs are separate, you must show that the programs:

(1) Have separate caregivers or have caregivers that do not provide care to more than one program at the same time; and

(2) Do not use the same building or areas at the same time, except that the programs may share restrooms and indoor/outdoor activity areas if you have a written plan regarding how caregivers from each program will supervise children using shared spaces.
