Current through Reg. 49, No. 49; December 6, 2024
Section 749.1841 - What are the basic care requirements for a toddler?
(a) Each toddler must receive individual attention, including playing, talking, and cuddling.
(b) A toddler's caregiver must ensure that the environment is safe. For example, free the area of objects that may choke or harm the toddler, take measures to prevent electric shock, free the area of furniture that is in disrepair or unstable, and allow no unsupervised access to water to prevent the risk of drowning.
(c) A toddler's caregiver must never leave the toddler unsupervised. A toddler is considered supervised if the caregiver is within eyesight or hearing range of the child and can intervene as needed, or if the caregiver uses a video camera or an audio monitoring device to monitor the child and is close enough to the child to intervene as needed.
