I voted indirect supervision. First off, I'm legally unlicensed, and registered because I take state pay. However, if I were licensed, the regs would be indirect.

I allow all completely potty trained children to go potty independently.

My sleeping room, when my two nap peers are in there, has a video monitor connected to a live feed on my laptop and iPad.

My special dcg girl sleeps in a pnp in my bedroom on the opposite side of the house from the kids hallway with the door open with a video monitor. I also check on her CONSTANTLY when she's asleep.

My newborn dcb sleeps on a PNP in the main living room where I am, in the dedicated infant section of my living room.

As far as outside goes, my son ( age 5), and dcb (sa) are allowed to play outside without me. However, I can see them from the window in the main area.

So, the rules say indirect. But what I actually do is pretty direct.
