This bill amends the Oklahoma Child Care Facilities Licensing Act by establishing a new requirement for licensed child care facilities regarding the ratio of master teachers to enrolled children. Specifically, it mandates that for every sixty children enrolled at a two-, three-, four-, or five-star child care center, there must be one full-time master teacher present. This new provision aims to enhance the quality of care and education provided in these facilities.

The bill will be codified as Section 404.4 of Title 10 in the Oklahoma Statutes and is set to take effect on November 1, 2026. This timeline allows child care facilities time to adjust to the new staffing requirements as they prepare for implementation.
