Federal and State Requirements Child Care Facilities Must Follow
Often, daycare negligence tends to go unnoticed until it is too late. Both federal and state laws have been implemented and set out daycare negligence lawsuit standards that have to be followed by all these institutions and facilities. These standards include:
- Providing adequate oversight
- Removing known dangers
- Maintaining the right caregiving items in cases of emergency
- Providing adequate access to water
- Maintaining a proper caregiver to child ratio
- Adhering to proper safety standards
- Maintaining ease of access to first aid tools
- Properly portioning food as stated in a prescribed schedule
- Implementing adequate safety measures to prevent a child from wandering or departing the facility without authorization
- Providing proper bathroom facilities
- Establishing policies that forbid all forms of mental, physical, sexual, and emotional abuse
Failure to abide by these standards can result in legal liability should a child come to harm.
