Care About Childcare Weber State University
ad
Spring Quarter Apr, May, & Jun 2018
Thank you to those providers who have completed the annual update. You are the best! There are some exciting changes coming to the child care system in Utah. Your help in keeping your information up-to-date is vitally important. Armed with the most current information on what child care looks like in Utah, the Utah Office of Child Care and the Department of Workforce Services can make better informed decisions regarding the new federal guidelines Utah must comply with. If you have not yet completed the update, we urge you to take a few minutes of your time to do so today. You can find the update form online at https://goo.gl/forms/Xvs4TVCD0kx1Flqt2.
---------------------------
We would like to remind you about the changes that have been made to the Quality Indicator incentive program. Instead of photographing, documenting, uploading, and waiting, all you need to do is ask. Quality Indicators will now be verified on-site by your licensor during your unannounced visit, but only if you request it. Requests can be made through the Child Care Licensing Portal. Participation is voluntary, but your program must be licensed and in good standing with Child Care Licensing. The amount of the incentive you will qualify for will be based on your program’s license capacity and the percentage of children in your care who receive subsidy payments from the Department of Workforce Services. The incentive can be used for professional development, to purchase materials and in other approved ways that support quality child care.
---------------------------
One more thing to keep in mind is the new certification rule. Those of you who take children whose care is paid for by the state, must now log into the DWS portal and certify their monthly attendance. This can be done between the 25th and the end of each month. Simply log in, review the information, and then click on the blue certify button. Please note that this button only appears in the portal after the 25th of each month, it will not be there before that date.
---------------------------
Keep up the fabulous work and remember we are here to answer questions you may have about recent and upcoming changes. Contact us at 801-626-7837 or [email protected].

The Great Utah ShakeOut will take place April 19th 2018
Care About Childcare and Child Care Licensing will be conducting a statewide system drill as a part of this year’s event.
You may be contacted by text or phone soon after the event as Child Care
Licensing and Care About Childcare test the state system.
We encourage you to start by planning your drill
Today you can:
Register your organization or school to be counted in the ShakeOut Drill, to get email updates, and more. https://www.shakeout.org/utah/rrregister/
Between now and April 19th: Consider what may happen in a major earthquake and plan what your organization will do now to get prepared, so that when it happens you will be able to recover quickly.
On April 19th at 10:15 am:
Conduct your drill including: 1. Drop, Cover, and Hold On: Have your children, staff, and others
present at the time Drop to the ground, take Cover under a table or desk, and Hold On to it as if a major earthquake were happening (stay down for at least 60 seconds). Practice now so they will immediately protect themselves during earthquakes!
2. While still under the table, or wherever they are, have them look around and imagine what would happen in a major earthquake. What would fall on them or others? What would be damaged? What would life be like after? What will your organization do before the actual earthquake happens to reduce losses and quickly recover?
3. Practice what your staff will do after the shaking stops.
After your drill is complete, have discussions about what was learned and incorporate these lessons into your disaster plan.

Child Care Providers and Pre-Schools have unique roles during
disasters, and when they are well
prepared all Utahns benefit

CAC - Weber State’s Training Policies You must pre-register. You will not be considered registered in our classes until we receive the registration form and your payment. We require that you pre-register for our classes for a couple of reasons: 1- Due to the amount of materials we distribute in class, we need to have an accurate count of how many providers will be attending each one and enough time to prepare them. 2- Weber State University has set strict guidelines for us to follow when handling money. They will not allow any money to remain in the office unsecured, overnight. We also do not want to put your information at risk by having it sit on a desk overnight. It is for your privacy and safety that we request you send in your money. Registration forms must be sent through the mail. Money can not be accepted at the training. Each registration form will let you know where to send it. Please check the training schedule page on our website (weber.edu/cac) to see if a class is full or has been rescheduled or cancelled. All training participants must review and sign the Statewide Professional Development System Code of Conduct each time you register. If there is no signature, your registration form will be sent back for you to sign. We will not be able to hold your spot in any class and you may miss out on the class that you want to register for. We are not able to register anyone for a class without the signed copy of the Code of Conduct. The registration form has the information we need for the Utah State Training Registry and must be filled out in full. An incomplete registration form will delay your registration and you may miss the class you are trying to register if it fills before we can collect the information we need. If you have any questions about the information we collect, you can contact our office at 801-626-7784. If you are sending registrations for more than one person, you must include a registration form for each person and each person must sign the Training Participant Code of Conduct. The form has the information we need for the Utah State Training Registry, without it we cannot register you for any of our classes. Also, each person must sign a copy of the Utah State Professional Development System Code of Conduct. Without that signature, no one will be able to attend classes. Registration for each class will close 7 days prior to the start of class. No registrations will be accepted within a week of the class' start date. This will give us time to prepare the right amount of materials. We register for classes one quarter at a time. You may register only for the classes listed in our current newsletter. Each quarter's class schedule and registration form can be found in our quarterly newsletter, the Child Care Connector. The newsletter is published every September, December, March and June. The schedule and registration form will also be posted on our website shortly after it has been sent in the mail. Sorry, we are not able to issue a refund. If we receive money from you for a class that is already full, we can give you the option of sending the check back to you or sending you a credit voucher. When a class is full, it will be posted on the training schedule page on our website at weber.edu/cac. You can always call our office at 801-626-7837 to check if the class is full before sending in the registration form or check our online schedule. If you are unable to attend a class and you call at least three days before the first session starts, we can send you a credit voucher. Sorry, we are not able to refund money. Please be sure to call during office hours Mon – Thu 8am-4:00pm. You can reach us either at 801-626-7837 or toll free at 1-888-970-0101. We cannot issue a credit voucher if you fail to notify us before the first session of a class. Each 10 hour class is broken down into four sessions. If you miss one or two session(s) in a class, no money can be refunded. However, you can make it up when that session is taught again, without repaying. You also have the option of making-up the session you missed with another CAC agency without having to pay again. We have an agreement with our sister agencies that allows you to make up one or two sessions with them. Just contact them for their times and registration policies. To register for a make-up session with us, simply fill out the registration form and circle the dates you need to make up, write "make-up" in the amount enclosed section and send it in. Be sure to include the signed Code of Conduct with the form. We have a limited number of make-up slots available for each night so please let us know if you are registered for a make-up session and are unable to attend.
We need to have a minimum number of providers enrolled to conduct the class. Classes, which don't meet these minimum numbers five days before the class, will be either cancelled or rescheduled. We will notify you and send you a credit voucher for another class. Classes may be canceled due to weather. We follow Weber State University's policies regarding this issue. If the campus is closed, our classes will be canceled. If not, classes will be held. You can call Weber State at 801-626-6000 to find out if the campus has been closed. We will also leave a message on our main phone line 801-626-7837. All classes canceled due to weather will be rescheduled. Certificates are given to participants on the last day of class. If you are making up a session, let the trainer know, they can get the certificate to you sooner. If you do not receive a certificate within two weeks of the final session, contact our office at 801-626-8083. There will be a $5 charge for a replacement certificate.

In this course participants will learn that the overall well-being of children is directly related to their ability to successfully regulate their emotions and manage their social interactions in ways that are acceptable to themselves and others. They will become familiar with the Social/Emotional component of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, and learn how they can partner with their local health department to help parents who have concerns about their children's social and emotional development.
