According to EEC regulations, educators must supervise children at all times, including indoor and outdoor activities, mealtimes, naptime, transportation, field trips, and transitions between activities.
Children younger than 6 months at the time of enrollment must be under direct visual supervision at all times, including while napping, during the first 6 weeks in care.
Educators must be:
aware of children’s activities
positioned to see and/or hear children in their care
close enough to children to intervene quickly when necessary
Educators must not engage in any activities that could divert their attention from supervising the children.
In programs serving infants and toddlers, educators must not leave a child unattended in an infant seat, on a changing table, or on any other surface that could result in a fall.
No child may be outdoors without adult supervision.
