18.05.080 Minimum Requirements for Care Givers Employed in a Licensed Child Care Center

(a) The child care center shall maintain a record of all employees and volunteers of the center which shall contain the person's name, address, and phone number, and shall provide a copy of such to the designated tribal licensing office upon request.

(b) All care givers employed or volunteering at a child care center shall certify to the designated tribal licensing office, within thirty (30) days of employment with a center, that he or she does not have a health problem which will interfere with the ability to provide adequate child care, or would be detrimental to the health of the children or center staff.

(c) Any care giver or applicant for a position as a care giver with access to children enrolled at the center who has been arrested for, charged civilly or criminally with, or been convicted of child abuse or neglect of his or her own children, or those of another person, shall disclose that fact to the designated tribal licensing office and furnish, upon request, information demonstrating that the individual has the ability to provide satisfactory care to children enrolled in the center. The designated tribal licensing office may, at its discretion, require the caregiver or applicant provide it with copies of criminal and civil records, medical records, and other documentation normally accorded privilege or confidential status. If the designated tribal licensing office determines that the caregiver or applicant presents a potential threat to the safety or well being of the children enrolled in the center, it may prohibit that person from working in a licensed childcare center.
