19 CSR 30-61.025 - Organization and Administration

PURPOSE: This amendment specifies that policies and procedures are to be written, changes references of Child Care Licensing Unit to the department, and includes language to accommodate legal entities. This amendment also removes child abuse and neglect language in an effort to not conflict with section 210.1080, RSMo Supp. 2018.

(1) Each family day care home shall be organized according to written policies and procedures which clearly establish job responsibilities and lines of administrative authority.

(2) If a family day care home is owned by a legal entity, the legal entity shall designate a person to be responsible for the daily operation of the facility and to meet the requirements of the child care provider. The department shall be notified in writing immediately if there is a change of the person designated to be responsible for the daily operation of the facility and to meet the requirements of the child care provider.

(3) The person(s) or legal entity who owns a family day care home shall be responsible for meeting all debts and obligations incurred by the facility and for maintaining compliance with all licensing rules for family day care homes.

(4) When the responsibility for the operation of a family day care home rests with a board of directors, the department shall be notified in writing immediately if there is a change of the board president or chairperson.
