PERMANENT RULES
DEPARTMENT OF
CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND FAMILIES
[Filed July 1, 2019, 8:57 a.m., effective August 1, 2019]
Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: The department of children, youth, and families (DCYF) is amending rules in chapter 110-300 WAC, Foundational quality standards for early learning programs, as negotiated with parents and representatives of the regulated community and repealing chapters 110-300A and 110-300B WAC. Amendments allow the use of certain composted soil for gardens in outdoor early learning program space; allow flexibility for record storage when administrative functions are performed in a separate location from the licensed early learning program; clarify time periods for reporting critical incidents to the department; allow license applicants, when necessary, to submit septic system inspection reports from the last three years instead of six months and well water tests conducted in the last twelve instead of six months; eliminate the need to produce letters of recommendation when applying for licensure; eliminate the application of safe sleep requirements to toddlers; and make nonsubstantive edits that improve clarity. Chapters 110-300A and 110-300B WAC are repealed as new, negotiated standards for licensed early learning programs take effect in chapter 110-300 WAC. Finally, proposed rules contain nonsubstantive housekeeping edits necessary after the decodification of Title 170 WAC and its recodification to Title 110 WAC.
