We discussed the following strategy: Use a calendar or dry erase board to document renewal dates. Positive Feedback and Encouragement: Based on today’s observation, I discussed with the provider to keep having positive interactions and providing various learning opportunities to the children, I shared with the provider that the positive interactions and conversations between her and the children would provide great learning opportunities for them. However, when providing feedback to children it should be descriptive rather than just saying “Good job” or “Thanks”, provide a brief description of the observed behavior. This feedback helps children know exactly what the behavior is that you would like to see repeated. For example, “Thanks for hanging up your coat all by yourself, Cameron. You sure are getting big. “Wow, Patrick, you just washed your hands all by yourself without Ms. Ellie or me even telling you to do it.” Tone of voice, facial expressions, being on a child’s level, and the timeliness of when the feedback is delivered are all variables that affect the spirit in which feedback is accepted. Reminders: Do you have children who bite? Do children struggle to focus during circle time? Do challenging behaviors cause difficult transitions? Do you spend all day managing behavior? Are you at your wits' end? Help is available for these and other behavioral challenges! The Challenging Behaviors Hotline has opened and is provided for Free. You may speak to a Behavior Support Advisor for advice and resources specific to challenging behaviors in your facility.

The NC Child Care Commission revised rules related to staff/child ratios for multi-age groups; cooperative arrangements; and enhanced space requirements. These rule changes may or may not impact your facility. The multi-age group staff/child ratio changes support a previous rule change submitted by Early Head Start and the new rule for defining cooperative arrangements provides clarification to a previous change in statute. A new July 2023 New Rule/Rule Amendments Overview module has been added to the Child Care Rules Training on DCDEE Moodle. If you are unfamiliar with the Child Care Rule Rollout within Moodle, learn how to navigate Moodle.
