Day Care Centers and Applicable State Laws

Day care facilities must fulfill specific safety and health guidelines, which are limited to, but include: conducting emergency drills; maintaining hazard free and sanitary conditions; ensuring every child is supervised every time; having a first aid kit properly stocked;
ensuring the safety of food and snacks; and keeping dangerous substances out of the reach of children.


Day care facilities stipulate a director and each caregiver to have a background check and a medical report on file. A director must be 21 years or older, with two years of experience or college, and 15 hours of training per year.

The simplest of errors by staff at a daycare facility can have long-term consequences for a child.

The majority of cases dealing with daycare sustained injuries can result in inadequate supervision of a daycare employee.


Infants and toddlers are not capable of accepting instructions from staff when warned of hazards. Therefore, it is particularly vital that daycare staff maintains close supervision at all times of children.

The simplest distraction on behalf of a caregiver can cause a long-term injury for a child, and is usually the reason behind catastrophic accidents at a daycare, such as: allergic reactions; falls from play equipment; dropped children; falls from changing tables; ingestion of poison; and entanglement of legs and arms.

State law enables parents of the children at a daycare who sustained injuries to file a claim on behalf of a child against the daycare where the occurrence took place.


Even if an individual is not sure of the particular circumstances involved with a sustained injury of a child, experienced attorneys can assist in investigating any matter to determine a probable cause.

In circumstances involving negligent behavior caused a sustained injury, a lawsuit may be asserted for previous and subsequent surgery, medical expenses, pain, therapy, and resulting disfigurement.

The regulation of child daycare facilities falls directly upon individual states.

In cases like this, however, much of the applicable law can leave room for judicial legal interpretation.
