I just checked our manual and it says:
"A window may be used as a second exit if it complies with all of the following provisions:
(a) Is accessible to children and caregiving staff.
(b) Is clearly identified
(c) Can be readily opened
(d) Is of a size and design to allow for the evacuation of all children and caregiving staff.
So this appears that we'd only need a sign in Michigan at a window if it was used as an exit (provision b). I'm assuming because it's not apparent that the window would be an exit.
I would like to know if in Michigan if this is something that has changed since new regs though. I've had my daycare 17 years and have had multiple inspections and have never had to have one on my mainfloor doors. I really hope that's not something that changed
