Who must provide toys, equipment, and furnishings?

• A. Families provide their own items
• B. The facility provides them
• C. They are optional and provided by donors
• D. Licensing supplies them

Answer: (B)

In licensed childcare settings, the program must supply the general toys, equipment, and furnishings. This ensures every child has access to safe, age-appropriate materials and that the environment meets licensing standards for safety and developmental support. Families may bring personal items for their child, but the overall supply of Toys and classroom furnishings is the facility’s responsibility to provide. Donors aren’t a reliable or required source, and licensing does not routinely supply these materials.
