Infant Sleeping Requirements for California Daycare
 

I was on the website for community care licensing trying to find out the regulations for an infant (18 mo old) at naptime... is a playpen adequate for sleeping or is a crib required? Can you please direct me to find this answer if you do not know.

It would appear that cribs are required.
