Establishes provisions relating to child care facilities

Summary

The bill directs Missouri’s Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to set standards for licensed child‑care facilities, including non‑restrained safe‑sleep policies for children one year and older, limits on weighted blankets, and individualized care plans for children with special needs. It also mandates staff training on these policies and on specific special‑need care, while exempting infants under one year, whose sleep rules are covered elsewhere. The aim is to improve safety and consistency in child‑care settings.
