DAYCARE LICENSING – Amends existing law to provide for supervision requirements while a child is sleeping and to establish an exception regarding children to be counted in attendance at a daycare.

H 758 amends Idaho's daycare licensing laws to clarify supervision requirements for sleeping children and adjust how children are counted for staff ratio calculations. It requires that providers maintain sight or hearing contact with sleeping children (or use live video/audio monitoring while staying nearby for immediate assistance). The bill also exempts a daycare provider's own children aged five or older from being counted in attendance for child-to-staff ratio purposes in family or group daycare settings. These changes directly affect licensed daycare facilities, including family daycare homes and group daycare centers, across Idaho.
