Medication Administration Training
If you are a licensed or registered day care provider or a legally exempt child care provider, who provides state subsidized child care, and you choose to administer medication to children in your care you must be in compliance with the Health and Infection Control regulations. Caregivers who administer actual medications must be trained in Medication Administration Training (MAT). Our Health Care Consultants have been approved by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services to train and certify qualified providers to administer medication to children in their programs.
Health and Safety Training
Caring for children in family day care or group family day care program is a big responsibility. The health and safety of children in care is the highest priority for both the provider and for the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. To ensure that new providers are prepared for this responsibility, they must complete health and safety training approved by the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS). This requirement affects anyone applying to become a family or group family day care provider. Our Health Care Consultants have been approved by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services to train new providers in Health and Safety.
