CHANGE IN THE COMMUNICABLE

 DISEASE CLASSES

 

  Beginning April 1, 2003 all child care professionals including Type B providers will be required to take the newly revised Communicable Disease class developed by the Ohio Department of Health and approved by Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services.  Three of NCC’s staff attended a re-certification class for trainers in this curriculum in January.  Although others were invited, our agency was the only family child care trainers in all of Ohio to attend.  We have therefore become authorized to train this new curriculum in Ohio.  Because of this, we have cancelled our February 26th class since it is no longer relevant and scheduled the new six hour class for Saturday, March 29thfrom 9am-4pm with an hour break.  There will be a limit to 30 participants in this class and it will be open to day care center staff, head start staff, as well as family child care.  Therefore it would be good for you to register as soon as possible.

INCOME  ELIGIBILITY 

 

 

 

  For providers claiming their own children on the food program, you do NOT need to send an enrollment form with your income eligibility application (IEA). The income eligibility application takes the place of your enrollment form for your children. Also remember, the enrollment form DOES NOT take the place of an income eligibility form. You must renew the IEA form every year (JULY 1) as you use to do with the enrollment forms. This claiming year the IEA form is pink. If you have not filled one out, or have only sent in an enrollment form for your children for the new year, you may not get reimbursed for the claiming month.

   

  If you are a new provider claiming your own children, you should fill out an IEA form for the month you were approved on the food program. If you have any questions please contact your USDA field representative.
