TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
ENFORCING THE TRAINING REQUIREMENT
Training and education have a measurable, positive effect on the quality of child care provided. This is why training is so
important to a child care program and the children and families it serves. The Division of Child Care Services will no longer
place a one year limitation on programs deficient in training hours but will instead recommend the denial of renewal. Once
denied, the program will be expected to work with the Regional Office and the Bureau of Child Care Enforcement to resolve
this matter.
NYS OCFS REQUIRED TRAINING TOPICS
The New York State Office of Children & Family Services’ regulations require directors, employees and volunteers who
have regular and sustained contact with children must complete a minimum of (thirty) 30 hours every two years. Fifteen

employee’s first six months of employment. Training must address the following topics (9) areas included:
1. Principles of childhood development, including appropriate supervision of children, meeting the needs
of children enrolled in the program with physical or emotional challenges and behavior management
and discipline;

3. Child day care program development;
4. Safety & security procedures, including communication between parents & staff;
5. Business record maintenance & management;
6. Child abuse & maltreatment identification & prevention;
7. Statutes & regulations pertaining to child day care;
8. Statutes & regulations pertaining to child abuse & maltreatment;
