The regulations cover such areas as: Physical Environment/Safety; Staff Qualifications and Supervision; Program Activities and Equipment; Health, Food and Nutrition; Parent and/or Community Participation; Administration and Record Keeping Requirements.
Our Center must have on the premises a copy of the Manual of Requirements for Child Centers and make it available to interested Parents for review. If you would like to review our copy, please inquire. We encourage Parents to discuss with us any questions about the policies and programs of the Center.
