Toilet Stalls � Toilets and toileting are major issues in childcare centers. Children become “toilet trained” within a broad range of age, but at an average age of 2-1/2. Before this time they are diapered. Until the age of 5 or 6, toilets are an extension of the classroom, where children learn proper health habits. Therefore, properly designed centers have toilets directly accessible to the classroom, not gang toilets as used in elementary schools. The most pressing problem in childcare design is the application of the regulations to every toilet room. BOCA Code states that non-required bathrooms designed for children’s use are not required to be accessible. Generally toilet rooms will be located between two classrooms. The graphic below shows a design solution that provides an accessible toilet and two non-accessible toilets. PBS-140 - July 2003 APPENDIX F � Another approach is to consider the toilet rooms as “stalls” with manuvering room located directly outside the toilet room door. � If the tank height or the flush valve prevent the placement of a grab bar over a fixture, a 610 mm grab bar may be placed offset to the wide side as shown. Urinals � Typically not used in child care. F-7
