(a) Registration.
(1) A school may be registered
as a nursery school and/or kindergarten. A school which includes both a nursery
school and kindergarten, if it seeks registration, must apply for registration
to include both nursery school and kindergarten. A registered school which
initiates instruction on either level for which it is not registered shall,
within 10 days thereof, make application for extension of its registration to
such other level. Registration of such school at the original level shall be
terminated at the end of the school year in which application for such
extension is made, unless a school qualifies for such extension.
(2) Formal application for registration shall
be made on forms provided by the department. The department reserves the right
to ask for any additional information necessary to determine the eligibility of
the school for registration. Application blanks shall be sent to the Chief,
Bureau of Child Development and Parent Education, State Education Department,
Albany, NY 12234.
(3) Change of
ownership of a school nullifies its registration and, if the school is to be
registered, the new owner must make formal application.
(4) Each school shall obtain written approval
before increasing the enrollment of any group or of the school at any time
beyond the maximum number stipulated by the department.
(5) Prior written approval shall be obtained
concerning changes in the educational director and group teachers of a
school.
(b) Reports.
(1) Registered schools shall file an annual
report with the department at a time determined by the department. Failure to
file the completed annual report within 30 days of the date requested will
terminate registration for the school.
(2) Advertising.
(i) Copies of all advertising, literature,
catalogs, brochures, pamphlets and circulars shall be maintained by the school
in its files.
(ii) Any advertising
or soliciting which misleads or tends to mislead the public shall be grounds
for forfeiture of registration.
(3) Within 10 days after any changes in its
location, ownership or policies, a registered school shall report such changes
to the department.
