Which of the following is included in School Age Child Care Standards?

• A. Traffic conditions are met.
• B. Student health records are required.
• C. No staff supervision.
• D. Center must offer art programs.

Answer: (A)

Safety and proper operation around transportation is a key part of School Age Child Care Standards. When traffic conditions are met, it means the program has safe, well-defined procedures for arrival and dismissal, with protected pedestrian routes, clear signage, appropriate parking and drive-through areas, and staff supervision to manage vehicles and children. This emphasis on safe movement and supervision during times of high risk is what makes this option the best fit for the standards. The other ideas aren’t focused on safety and daily operations: health records relate to health/privacy requirements, not a transport/safety standard; having no staff supervision would violate safety principles; and mandating art programs is a programming preference, not a required safety/operational standard.
