telephone service and surplus furniture and equipment without

reimbursement;

(3) shall provide for the participation (directly or through a

parent advisory committee) of parents of children receiving care

in the center in the establishment of policies to govern the

operation of the center and in the oversight of the

(4) shall require the development and use of a process for

determining the fitness and suitability of prospective employees

of or volunteers at the center; and
