SUMMARY:Regulations 101
DESCRIPTION: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. Presenter: Lesley Lawrence. This training will not count for OCFS training credit.

SUMMARY:Supervision
DESCRIPTION:Effective supervision is much more than watching children—it is an intentional practice that combines awareness\, engagement\, environmental design\, and proactive planning to create physically and emotionally safe environments where children can thrive. This interactive training examines the principles of competent direct supervision required under New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) regulations and explores practical strategies that reduce risk\, prevent accidents\, support positive behavior\, and promote high-quality youth development. Participants will examine real-life scenarios\, collaborate with peers to solve supervision challenges\, and apply the SAFE Model (See\, Assess\, Formulate/Fix\, Evaluate) to strengthen supervision practices in school-age programs. Presenter: Lesley Lawrence. This session will not count for OCFS training credit.
