591-1-1-.30(2)(c) · Rule 591-1-1-.30(2)(c) requires that Infants shall not sleep in equipment other than safety-approved cribs, such as, but not limited to, a car safety seat, bouncy seat, highchair, or swing. Infants who arrive at the Center asleep or fall asleep in such equipment, on the floor or elsewhere, shall be transferred to a safety-approved crib.

It was determined based on an investigation that on February 19, 2025, at around 1:30 p.m., there were two staff members with eight infants and a 1-year-old in the infant classroom. One staff member was in a rocking chair feeding an infant and the second staff member was diapering an infant at the changing table. Six infants and a 1-year-old child were on the floor participating in tummy time. A 5 month-old infant fell asleep and remained on the floor for 5-10 minutes. During this time, a 1-year-old child, who was a new walker, fell on the five- month-old infant, resulting in the infant sustaining an injury. The 5-month-old infant required professional medical attention and was diagnosed with a fractured leg.
