416.8(a) · Children cannot be left without competent supervision at any time. Competent supervision includes awareness of and responsibility for the ongoing activity of each child. It requires that all children be within a caregiver's range of vision except as provided in section 416.8(b) of this Part and that the caregiver be near enough to respond when redirection or intervention strategies are needed. Competent supervision must take into account the child's age, emotional, physical and cognitive development.

416.8(b)(1) · Children may be outside a caregiver's range of vision only as follows: With the prior written permission of the parent, children who are napping or sleeping may do so in a room where an awake approved caregiver is not present, the doors to all rooms must be open; the approved caregiver must remain on the same floor as the children; and a functioning electronic monitor must be used in any room where children are sleeping or napping and an awake approved caregiver is not present.

The caregiver must complete a recertification training approved by the Office in order to extend the certification for each additional three year period. Where a certification lapses, the caregiver may not be recertified unless the caregiver completes the initial (MAT) or the recertification training, as required by the Office.
