Section 125.10 - Registration and reports

(a) Registration.

(1) A school may be registered as a nursery school and/or kindergarten. A school which includes both a nursery school and kindergarten, if it seeks registration, must apply for registration to include both nursery school and kindergarten. A registered school which initiates instruction on either level for which it is not registered shall, within 10 days thereof, make application for extension of its registration to such other level. Registration of such school at the original level shall be terminated at the end of the school year in which application for such extension is made, unless a school qualifies for such extension.

(2) Formal application for registration shall be made on forms provided by the department. The department reserves the right to ask for any additional information necessary to determine the eligibility of the school for registration. Application blanks shall be sent to the Chief, Bureau of Child Development and Parent Education, State Education Department, Albany, NY 12234.

(3) Change of ownership of a school nullifies its registration and, if the school is to be registered, the new owner must make formal application.

(4) Each school shall obtain written approval before increasing the enrollment of any group or of the school at any time beyond the maximum number stipulated by the department.

(5) Prior written approval shall be obtained concerning changes in the educational director and group teachers of a school.

(b) Reports.

(1) Registered schools shall file an annual report with the department at a time determined by the department. Failure to file the completed annual report within 30 days of the date requested will terminate registration for the school.

(2) Advertising.

(i) Copies of all advertising, literature, catalogs, brochures, pamphlets and circulars shall be maintained by the school in its files.

(ii) Any advertising or soliciting which misleads or tends to mislead the public shall be grounds for forfeiture of registration.

(3) Within 10 days after any changes in its location, ownership or policies, a registered school shall report such changes to the department.
