| (a) Each toddler must receive individual attention,
including playing, talking, and cuddling.
(b) A toddler's caregiver must ensure that the environment
is safe. For example, the caregiver must free the area of objects
that may choke or harm the toddler, take measures to prevent electric
shock, free the area of furniture that is in disrepair or unstable,
and allow no unsupervised access to water to prevent the risk of drowning.
(c) A toddler's caregiver must never leave the toddler
unsupervised. A sleeping toddler is considered supervised if the caregiver
is within eyesight or hearing range of the toddler and can intervene
as needed, or if the caregiver uses a video camera or audio monitoring
device to monitor the toddler and is close enough to the toddler
to intervene as needed.
