SUMMARY:Supervision in School-Age Child Care
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.

SUMMARY:Lead Like a Pro: Empower Afterschool Staff to Thrive with Tools That Shine
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n\n\n\nAcross the country\, 81% of afterschool providers say staffing is a major concern. More than half report that burnout is the leading reason they struggle to keep good people. \n\n\n\nBut here is what those numbers do not show: the programs where staff feel prepared\, supported\, and genuinely good at their jobs look completely different. Students are more engaged. Attendance holds. The program has an energy that families notice and talk about. \n\n\n\nThe difference is not always who you hired. It is what you put in their hands. \n\n\n\nThis session is for afterschool leaders who want their staff to walk into every session feeling ready and confident to lead. We will explore how the right tools\, including AI-powered planning and ready-to-run content\, reduce the daily prep burden that wears people down\, and how that reduction directly changes how staff show up for students.  \n\n\n\nAttendees Will Walk Away With: \n\n\n\n\nA clear framework for identifying where prep pressure is highest on your team and which tools can take that weight off without adding new complexity\n\n\n\nStrategies for building staff confidence over time so quality does not depend on who had energy that particular afternoon \n\n\n\nA hands-on look at how AI lesson planning works in an afterschool context\, including a live example attendees can adapt for their own program\n\n\n\nReady-to-use session structures staff can pick up and run immediately\, with zero prep required\n\n\n\n\nWhat to Expect in the Session: \n\n\n\n\nA practical look at what it actually takes for staff to feel prepared\, and why more training is rarely the answer\n\n\n\nA hands-on exploration of how AI planning tools and ready-to-use content remove the daily decisions that drain staff before students even arrive\n\n\n\nTime to build a simple implementation plan for bringing at least one tool back to your team this week\n\n\n\n\nZoe’s Bio\n\n\n\nZoe Kurtz is the Director of Marketing & Sales at AB Studios\, where she partners with schools and afterschool programs nationwide to design enrichment experiences that are sustainable for staff and meaningful for students. Over the past six years in educational technology\, she has focused on empowering educators and leaders to use technology to support belonging\, creativity\, and student voice in ways that fit into real classrooms and afterschool spaces. \n\n\n\nPrior to AB Studios\, Zoe served as the Demand Generation Manager at The Social Institute\,  empowering K-12 students to navigate social media in positive\, high-character ways.  \n\n\n\nToday she works alongside school and afterschool leaders to bring story-driven\, hands-on learning to life using practical AI planning tools that reduce preparation while increasing engagement. She regularly presents at educator conferences and webinars\, sharing strategies educators can immediately apply to build participation\, confidence\, and connection throughout the school and afterschool day. \n\n\n\nZoe has a Master’s in Digital Marketing at Wake Forest University. Originally from North Carolina and now based in Tampa\, she believes the best learning happens when curiosity leads and every voice is heard.

SUMMARY:Intro to Restorative Practices (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:This two-part training introduces after-school providers to the foundations of restorative practices and translates those foundations into strategies that work within the unique rhythm of out-of-school time (OST) settings. Restorative practices offer OST staff a relationship-centered framework for building trust quickly\, managing conflict without relying on exclusionary discipline\, and reinforcing the sense of belonging that positive youth development depends on. These workshops provide both the conceptual grounding and the practical tools needed to begin using these approaches in program spaces immediately. Participants will leave with a shared understanding of restorative principles and a practical starting toolkit they can apply immediately in their programs to strengthen relationships\, build community\, and support a caring\, accountable program climate for youth\, families\, and staff alike.

SUMMARY:School Age 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.
