Do you have piles of paper in your work area that are not organized? Does it take you more than two minutes to locate an important file? Does your anxiety level rise during inspection visits by OCFS or the food program, especially the unannounced ones, because you are overwhelmed by paperwork? Choosing to develop a system and deciding to use it regularly are the first two steps to organization. This two hour course will help you take those steps and includes

• 1. Forms to be kept in a file for Renewal. (updated 9/2014)

• 3. Forms to be kept and updated regularly for each child. (updated 9/2014)
• 4. What to discard and when.

• 2. Review the files of all children in your care.
• 3. Choose filing categories for business papers.

This course provides 2 hours of training in the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) regulation areas of (5) Business Record Maintenance & Management and (7) Statutes & Regulations Pertaining to Child Day Care. After reading the material, you must complete and submit three written activities and answer 16 questions. You will be given 3 points for completing each written activity and one point for each correctly answered question, for a total of 25 points. A score of 80% must be achieved to pass this course (20 out of 25 points). Two “games” are included that must be submitted.
