SECTION 746.113. Who is responsible for complying with these minimum standards?

(a) For a licensed child-care center, 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 center does not offer. For example, if we license the center to offer only toddler and pre-kindergarten care programs, the center does not have to comply with minimum standards that apply only to infant care, school-age care, get-well care, or nighttime-care programs; however, the center must comply with all other minimum standards.

(b) For an unlicensed child-care center that is subject to Licensing's regulation, the center's director, owner, or operator or any other controlling person who has the ability to influence or direct the center'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 center does not offer.
