Regulations 101

Navigating New York State child care regulations can feel overwhelming—but regulations are designed to support children’s health, safety, and well-being. This highly interactive training introduces participants to the structure and purpose of NYS School-Age Child Care Regulations (Part 414), teaches strategies for locating regulations quickly, and provides opportunities to apply regulations to realistic program situations. Using live polls, regulation scavenger hunts, collaborative discussions, and real-world scenarios, participants will practice interpreting regulations and distinguishing between licensing requirements, program policies, and best practices. By the end of the session, participants will leave with greater confidence in using the regulations as an everyday resource rather than simply a compliance document.
