ONLINE TRAINING Join Us For A Family Child Care
Roundtable
The NYS Office of Children & Family Services recently announced that proposed Family Child Care regula-tions will be released at the end of June. Join us for a group discussion on the proposed regula-tory changes. Providers who attend will have an opportunity to brainstorm the feedback they would like to give OCFS regard-ing the proposed changes. Child Care Solutions will then submit the group’s comments to OCFS. We hope that this will make input easier for providers who may not have time to compose written com-ments on their own.
You can download and print the regulations ahead of time if you’d like to preview them before the meeting. If you can’t get to a printer, call us and we will arrange for you to pick up a copy at one of our offices or at the Roundtable meeting you attend.

The Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) has specific regulations about giving medication to children in child day care settings. The regulations require all child care programs that choose to administer medica-tion, other than over-the-counter topical ointments; to meet certain conditions which include having staff who are approved to give medication in a child care setting.
Along with your MAT certification, before you administer medication, you must also meet the following requirements:
• Hold current certifications in cpr and first aid. • Be at least 18 years of age.• Have a health care consultant on record.• Have a health care plan approved for medication administration signed by your health care consultant
and also approved by your licensor/ registrar.
