An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical assistance was also offered in preparing for extreme heat. For some childcare providers preparing for extreme heat is a necessity. With temperatures in some areas around the country in the 100s and areas with high humidity, it feels even hotter, it is critical to be prepared for these types of extreme temperatures. Normally children’s bodies can regulate their temperature and cool them down through sweating and by heat radiating through the skin. But in very hot weather and high humidity, this natural cooling system may begin to fail, letting heat in the body build to dangerous levels. This can cause heat illness, such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion, or heatstroke. Children are at risk for heat cramps when they aren't drinking enough fluids. Although painful, heat cramps on their own aren't serious. But cramps can be the first sign of a more serious heat-related illness. -Dance party – Crank up some music and let loose! Let the children suggest their favorite songs. Play “freeze dance”—pause the music periodically and have everyone “freeze” in place until you start the music again. – Lead children in simple yoga poses and stretches. There are a variety of free online resources including printable yoga picture cards that you can use in your program. -Obstacle course – Set up an indoor course using everyday items. You can make it as simple or challenging as the children’s abilities dictate- crawling under chairs, balancing on a strip of tape on the floor, tossing a ball into a box, and jumping in and out of a hula-hoop are just a few ideas. -Movement games – Old fashioned favorites like “Simon Says,” “Red Light, Green Light,” and hopscotch get kids moving and can easily be brought indoors. Reminders To help staff remember the correct diapering procedure you want remind staff to frequently review the diaper changing poster to ensure all steps are being followed. For additional training and technical assistance you can reach out to Tandrel Lennon, Child Care Health Consultant at (910)738-6767 or tlennon@rcpartnership4children.org. Qualifying Letters (background checks) The Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) is mandated to ensure all children who attend licensed /regulated child care facilities are protected and cared for in a nurturing and safe environment. The agency accomplishes this by assuring all caregivers working in licensed child care programs have a valid qualification letter on file with the facility prior to employment. You will need to gain access to the Provider Portal and complete the ABCMS Child Care Provider Portal Training on DCDEE's Moodle if you have not done so. The training consists of watching a short video then taking a test about the video. A certificate will be issued upon successful completion of the test. Email the certificate along with your full name, position and Facility ID to DCDEE_ABCMS_Provider@dhhs.nc.gov to get access to the portal. We will grant your access within 2 business days.
