Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR) in Child Care Training (Must attend both sessions)
Be prepared! Knowing what to do before, during and after an emergency is a critical part of being prepared and may make all the difference when seconds count. The NEW Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR) rules went into effect July 1, 2015. NC Child Care Rules 10A NCAC 09 .0607(b) and 10A NCAC 09 .1705(b)(6) require that a designated individual from all licensed centers and family child care homes complete the EPR in Child Care training before July 2017 and submit a facility EPR Plan online within four months of attending the training. The training provides early educators with information and tools to prepare for many types of emergencies. It addresses the new NC Child Care Rules on emergency preparedness, current best practice recommendations, and guidance on completing the online EPR Plan. The training is presented in two 2-hour sessions and includes a one-hour site assignment. For more information on the new EPR requirements, visit DCDEE’s website at: http://ncchildcare.nc.gov/providers/pv_emergency.asp Please call 441-4737 if you have any questions.

Bodies and Potties: Body Consciousness and Potty Training for Infants and Toddlers
One way children learn about their world is through their bodies and physical experiences. Learning about their bodies is no exception. We will discuss strategies for how to talk with young children appropriately as they become more aware of their bodies and its parts beyond just their fingers and toes. Part of developing this “body consciousness” includes the potty training process. The signs that children are ready to start the transition from diapers to using the potty will be shared as well as guidelines and strategies for successful potty training experiences. This training provides information that supports the ITERS-R subscales: Personal Care Routines, Listening and Talking, Interactions and Program Structure.
