This standard was evaluated as part of an investigation by the Department of Family and Protective Services and was found to be deficient as three children were observed sleeping in cribs without mattresses. A caregiver reported that the Director had removed the mattresses. This violates the requirement that all cribs must have a firm, flat mattress that snugly fits the sides of the crib and is specifically designed for use with the crib model number. The absence of mattresses compromises the safety and well-being of children and does not meet the required safety standards for cribs.
