[R.O. 1997 § 625.030; Ord. No. 51 § 3, 9-1-1995]
No person shall operate a day-care
home in the City of Wildwood on premises for which such person does
not have a current and valid day-care home license issued by the Director.
Although a day-care home license may be issued by the City of Wildwood
prior to the issuance of a day-care home licensed by the State of
Missouri, no person shall operate a day-care home without a valid
and current day-care home license issued by the State of Missouri
pursuant to Section 210.211, RSMo.
[R.O. 1997 § 625.040; Ord. No. 51 § 4, 9-1-1995]
Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Chapter, no person who operates a day-care home with four
(4) or fewer children who do not live on the premises in attendance
at any one (1) time shall be required to obtain a day-care home license
nor shall such person be subject to review of the Day-Care Home Commission
nor subject to conditions under this Chapter for operation placed
on the day-care home.
[R.O. 1997 § 625.050; Ord. No. 51 § 5, 9-1-1995]
A.
No day-care home shall be operated:
1.
By a person who does not personally
provide day-care service to the children in attendance at the day-care
home.
2.
By a person who does not reside in
the residence where the day-care home is located.
3.
In a structure which may not lawfully
be occupied as a residence under the Zoning Ordinance or other land
use regulations of the City.
4.
Where care is being provided for
more children at one (1) time than such operator is licensed under
this Chapter or State law to care for on the specified premises.
5.
Where there is less than seven hundred
fifty (750) square feet of contiguous, compact outside play area on
the premises available for outside recreation of the children, regardless
of the number of children that are in attendance at the day-care home
at any one (1) time; the property used in calculating whether the
minimum outside play area is satisfied cannot be common ground, public
property, or any other property where possession is in fact shared
with other residents or where other residents have the right to use
the property.
6.
Where the operation of the day-care
home is in violation of any City ordinance affecting health and safety.
[R.O. 1997 § 625.060; Ord. No. 51 § 6, 9-1-1995]
No license shall be issued where
the operator, an employee, or any person regularly present on the
premises has committed an act demonstrating a lack of fitness to care
for children, including child molestation or abuse, theft, fraud,
or any other act of moral turpitude unless the Director finds the
conduct of such person subsequent to such act has been such as to
demonstrate fitness to care for children.
[R.O. 1997 § 625.070; Ord. No. 51 § 7, 9-1-1995]
No person shall be issued a license
to operate a day-care home for more than ten (10) children at one
(1) time, including the operator's children under the age of thirteen
(13).
[R.O. 1997 § 625.080; Ord. No. 51 § 8, 9-1-1995]
There may be occasions when, due
to a change of shifts or because of before- and after-school care,
the number of children in care would exceed for a short period of
time the number of children permitted by this Code. The number in
care, in these overlap situations, shall never be more than one-third
(1/3) over the number of children that is otherwise allowed under
this Code for a period of time not to exceed two (2) hours total in
any child-care day.
[R.O. 1997 § 625.090; Ord. No. 51 § 9, 9-1-1995]
There may be occasions when schools
are closed due to emergencies such as inclement weather. On those
days, in order to accommodate enrolled school-age children needing
day care due to the unscheduled school closing, the home shall be
permitted to exceed for the day its licensed capacity by one-third
(1/3). This one-third (1/3) excess attendance for emergency school
closing shall not be in addition to the one-third (1/3) excess allowed
for overlap care, so that at no time may the total number in care
be more than one-third (1/3) over the licensed capacity. This emergency
school closing overlap shall not be permitted for scheduled days of
school closing.
[R.O. 1997 § 625.100; Ord. No. 51 § 10, 9-1-1995]
A.
The operator of the day-care home shall
operate the day-care home in such a manner that the residential character
of the neighborhood is not disturbed. This means that the operator
shall not permit:
1.
Excessive noise in connection with
the day-care home which would annoy a person of ordinary sensibilities;
2.
Children to trespass on property
where there is no permission for the children to enter;
3.
Operation of the day-care home to
damage property of others; or
4.
Operation of the day-care home to
cause the property on which the day-care home is operated to deteriorate.
[R.O. 1997 § 625.110; Ord. No. 51 § 11, 9-1-1995]
No person operating a day-care home
shall fail to show to the Director of Planning or the Director of
Public Works or their designated agents upon request, during normal
business hours, a copy of the operator's day-care home license issued
pursuant to Section 210.211, RSMo.
[R.O. 1997 § 625.120; Ord. No. 51 § 12, 9-1-1995]

a day-care home license under this Chapter with conditions shall operate
the day-care home in violation of the conditions.
