Licensing Rules for Child Care Centers
- Smoking and vaping must not occur at any time in or during both of the following:
- In the child care center or on real property that is under the control of the center and on which the center is located.
- On field trips and in vehicles when children are present.
- 2.A center shall post a notice in a place accessible and visible to parents, staff, and visitors stating that smoking and vaping are prohibited in the center and on the center’s property.
The Child Care Organizations Act (MCL 722.113b) prohibits an individual from smoking in a child care center or on the real property under control of the center.
The hazards of second-hand smoke warrant the prohibition of smoking in proximity of child care areas at any time. Residual toxins from smoking at times when children are not using the space can trigger asthma and allergies when children do use the space.
