Establishes staff-to-children ratios for licensed child care facilities
HB 1079 establishes minimum staff-to-child ratios for licensed child care facilities in the state, requiring one staff member for every four children under one year, one for every six children aged one to two, and one for every 25 children aged five or older. The bill also requires licensed facilities to disclose their licensure status to parents and prohibits unlicensed facilities from claiming to be licensed. These requirements apply to all licensed child care facilities, ensuring consistent supervision standards based on children's age groups.
