Section 17-895-20
Evidence of Child's Health

        (a)  The facility shall require and obtain from the    

parent or guardian of each infant and toddler entering    

their program a health record of the infant or toddler,    

which consists of the following:     

        (1)     Written evidence of a physical clearance    

obtained within two months of admission to the facility;    

        (2)     Written evidence that the infant or toddler has    

received a tuberculin test indicating that the infant or    

toddler is free from tuberculosis in a communicable form;    

and   

        (3)     Initial and continuous written evidence that    

immunizations are current; or   

        (4)     A written statement from a licensed physician    

certifying that the physical condition of the infant or    

toddler is such that immunizations would endanger the    

infant or toddler's life or health; or   

        (5)     A written statement from a parent or guardian    

requesting exemption from the required  immunizations on    

the grounds that such immunizations conflict with the    

parent or guardian's bonafide religious tenets and    

practices.     

        (b)     Medical clearance for care of children with    

special needs shall be obtained before admission into an    

infant and toddler facility.  Special needs children mean    

children with any condition which requires modification of    

care or services not regularly available.     

        (c)     The records of the infants and toddlers in  the    

program shall include pertinent information about birth,    

health status, developmental progress, including    

prematurity and any special needs and efforts necessary to    

meet these needs.
