Child Care In-Home Safety Protocols

Infant Safe Sleep: Confirm your caregiver understands and practices the ABCs of safe infant sleep: Alone, on their Back, in a bare Crib with a firm mattress.

Allergies and Epinephrine: If your child has food or environmental allergies, provide written emergency protocols and demonstrate auto-injector administration in person.

Water Safety: Prohibit outdoor water play or swimming without explicit parental presence or qualified lifeguard supervision.

Authorized Pickups: Provide a written list of individuals authorized to pick up children. Caregivers must never release children to unauthorized persons.
