Child Care Program Web-based Trainings, User Manuals and Job Aids

These resources will enable programs to understand what is required and how to implement the Ohio Child Licensing and Quality System.  Web-based trainings, user manuals and job aids have been  developed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) and the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) for programs interested in participating or currently participating in Step Up To Quality. The web-based trainings, user manuals and job aids are available to educate programs on how to use the new Ohio Child Licensing and Quality System (OCLQS.ohio.gov).

Training Needs Assessment 
We are planning the next training calendar and we need your help. Every 6 months the Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) sends a training survey on what trainings are needed and when, the counties in which the trainings are most needed, and how many sessions need to be scheduled. That is where you can help us!

Please fill out the following survey to select specific trainings, times, and counties to hold them. You can also provide information on specific locations/cities for sessions or new trainings you feel we need to add. You will need about 10-15 minutes to complete the survey. All this information will be considered for the July-December 2014 Workshop Calendar.
National CACFP Week
This week is National CACFP Week.  No one will dispute that our nation's children need nutritious food to grow to their healthy, full potential.  This article from Time magazine highlights how difficult this can be in a childcare setting.  All across the country these small businesses are challenged with balancing the need for nutritious food and the need to keep their child care businesses operating in the black.  The CACFP can help them bridge the funding gap, but as this article illustrates, the complexity of the program can be difficult for child care providers to navigate without advocates and mentors to help them along the way.with a link to your site for the full details.
