Just found where a center in the area was sighted with these violations plus a couple others. What I find funny is these are the ones parents fight us on all the time. I love how I can blame it on the state as it is their rules as well as mine.

I find it interesting they were actually cited for violating nap time. Makes me wonder what was going on during nap for them to be cited.

According to OAR 414-300-0220(1)(a), "A center shall not admit or retain in care, except with the written approval of the local health officer, a child who:
