Baby Safety Month. 

Babies are our most vulnerable population. They need the help of trusting and caring adults in their lives to get their basic needs met. That's why it's on us to make sure we are providing safe environments for them to grow and develop in.

Some things you can do to keep babies safe while in your care are:

  • Go online and open the New York State Child Day Care Regulations for the modality of care you provide. Search the word "infant" and "baby" to review all relevant regulations to be sure you are in compliance, especially in the areas of safe sleep.
  • Get on the floor so you can see things from the child's level and assess any potential hazards.
  • Visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website to sign up for communication on the latest recalls.
  • Anchor large pieces of furniture and televisions to reduce tip hazards.
  • Cover outlets, put gates at the top and bottom of stairs, remove blind cords and put safety latches on cabinets and toilets.
  • Remove anything that poses a choking hazard.

National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. 

Childhood obesity is a complex disease with many contributing factors such as genetics, eating patterns, physical activity levels and sleep routines. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "childhood obesity is a serious health problem in the United States where 1 in 5 children and adolescents are affected." If not addressed, childhood obesity can often last into adulthood and can lead to lifelong health issues such as diabetes, certain cancers and sleep disorders.

As a child care provider you have a unique opportunity to reduce obesity risks by providing children of all ages with safe places and spaces for physical activity, healthy meals and snacks, plenty of water for hydration and time to rest.

You can find many obesity prevention programs in community, child care, school and health care settings on the New York State Department of Health's website. Be sure to share this information and other resources about childhood obesity with colleagues and families.

National Preparedness Month. 

You never know when an emergency might happen so it's vital that you are prepared. That's why September observes National Preparedness Month.

Emergencies include natural disasters (floods, snowstorms, tornadoes, etc.) and human-made disasters (fires, terrorism, crime, etc.). The type of emergency determines the type of action you should take– evacuation (relocate) or shelter in place (stay where you are). Make sure everyone knows when to choose which option and what they should do.

It's important to practice both evacuation and shelter in place drills with children so everyone knows what to expect if an emergency should occur. New York State Child Day Care Regulations provide specific information on when you should be conducting your different preparedness drills.

This is a great time to take out your emergency plan and review it to see if it needs any updating. Once it's ready to go, make sure everyone in the program knows what it says and how to follow it.

The NYS Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) has a safety and emergency planning section that contains information on home safety, disaster preparedness, disaster recovery, trauma response, activities for children and resources. Check it out for great ideas you can implement in your program and share with families so everyone can be prepared.

Children's Eye Health and Safety Month. 

August is Children's Eye Health and Safety Month. It's important to take good care of your eyes because they help you see clearly and understand the environment around you. Good eye health is also a major contributor to success in school.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) signs of vision loss include:

  • closing or covering one eye,
  • squinting the eyes or frowning,
  • complaining that things are blurry or hard to see,
  • having trouble reading or doing other close-up work, or holding objects close the eyes in order to see, and
  • blinking more than usual or seeming cranky when doing close-up work.

Some things you can do to promote good eye health are:

  • provide information to families and staff via a newsletter or program bulletin board,
  • encourage families to schedule an eye exam for their child,
  • promote the wearing of sunglasses when outdoors, and
  • take a look at your menu to see if you can add foods that promote eye health such as dark leafy greens (spinach, kale and collard greens) and fish (tuna, salmon and halibut).

August is National Sandwich Month. 

According to the USDA, on any given day 47% of adults eat a sandwich and nearly one-half of all sandwiches are eaten at lunch.

Miriam Webster, defines a sandwich as:

  • two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between; or
  • one slice of bread covered with food; or
  • something resembling a sandwich, especially composite structural materials consisting of layers often of high-strength facings bonded to a low strength central core.

Try some of these ideas in your program to help celebrate sandwiches:

  • Take a look at your current menu. Are there any sandwiches on it? If not, add one. If yes, see if there is a way you could jazz it up by switching up an ingredient or adding a new one. You can find some CACFP sandwich recipes online.
  • Poll the children to find out what their favorite sandwiches are and share the results with families in a newsletter or by having a family luncheon where you serve the winner.
  • Try a sandwich such as a torta, Bành Mì or gyro. Ask families to share sandwich recipes or samples from their cultures.
  • Tell the children what the dictionary definition of a sandwich is and have conversations. Some items you could debate are hamburgers, quesadillas, wraps, tacos and lasagna.
  • Invent your own sandwich and have a taste test; poll others in the program to get their thoughts.
  • Assemble a sandwich recipe book and sell it as a fundraiser.

August is Get Ready for Kindergarten Month!

Here are some tips from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) to help prepare children for Kindergarten you can share with families:

  • help them develop independence at home,
  • focus on self-help skills,
  • teach responsibility,
  • develop and follow routines,
  • read aloud to the child,
  • engage in meaningful literacy activities, and
  • acknowledge their feelings.

July is National Anti-Boredom Month. 

As we get deeper into the summer season, we begin to hear the children utter those all too familiar words, "I'm bored!" Feeling bored from time to time is normal, but those who get bored easily are more prone to depression, anxiety and aggression. There are many ways you can help children combat boredom, including:

  • offering them opportunities to investigate a new hobby such as gardening or bird watching;
  • getting a change of scenery through a walk around the neighborhood or going on a field trip;
  • providing them opportunities to learn a new skill such as playing an instrument or cooking;
  • involve them in volunteer efforts by making art or thank you cards and sending them to a local nursing home, fire house or police department;
  • rotating toys, materials and books in the program to mix things up;
  • going on a scavenger hunt;
  • introducing new board games and active play ideas.

July is National UV Safety Awareness Month! 

July is prime time to be outdoors enjoying the warm weather. However, the more time you spend outdoors during the day, the more exposure you have to the sun's harmful Ultraviolet (U.V.) rays– invisible radiation that comes from the sun, tanning beds and sun lamps. These rays can damage our skin and eyes all year round, on cloudy and cool days.

To protect yourself, apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and wear a hat and sunglasses. For more information about sun safety, visit the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website.

Jul 05, 2023

July is National Picnic Month! 

July is National Picnic Month, so what a great time to take snack or lunch outside or to a blanket on the carpet (if the weather isn't cooperating). Possible themes for summertime picnics with children include tea party, teddy bear or favorite stuffed animal, colors, carnival or camping

Hosting a program-wide picnic afterhours or on a weekend is also a great opportunity to involve families so you can get to know them better in a casual setting. You could ask families to bring a dish to share that is special to their family and ask them to contribute the recipe to a program cookbook. Make sure you plan for a day/time that works best for your families by emailing an electronic survey or a paper survey.

Either way, changing up the scenery and routine a bit can help alleviate boredom and spark creativity so happy picnicking!

Here are some ideas to help you celebrate:

  • if possible, take the children to visit a local farmer's market or farm to learn about fresh fruits and vegetables in their community,
  • start a program garden,
  • keeping possible food allergies in mind, have a weekly fruit or vegetable show and tell where you introduce a new piece of produce to the children- have them observe the item using all of their senses, and
  • review your program's menu to see places you could add additional fresh fruits and veggies to lunches and snacks.

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. 

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. If you have an ear infection, you go to the doctor – no questions asked. If you have a cavity, you go to the dentist – again, no questions asked. So, if you are feeling anxious, stressed or depressed, or see signs of negative mental health in others, seek help – no questions asked.

Be sure to check in with children as well to see how they are feeling and provide them with strategies they can use when they are experiencing different emotions. This will help instill in them a positive attitude about mental health they can use throughout their lives.

Some things you can do with children are building time for meditation and deep breathing into your daily routine, taking time out for mindful moments, discussing different emotions and emotional vocabulary and doing daily check-ins using a how are you feeling today chart and sharing this information with families.

Visit the CDC website for more information about mental health and tools and resources.

Auto Injector Initiative. 

An estimated one (1) in 13 children is impacted by allergies. Many children experience events for the first time while in child care, these may include new foods and insect bites. There is no way to predict when a child will have an allergic reaction. If anaphylaxis were to occur, is your child care program prepared to respond? Epinephrine is the first line drug of choice for the emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions. Having a non-patient specific auto-injector in your program's emergency tool kit, and the knowledge of how to use it, is a lifesaving investment. So why wait? Visit the OCFS website and participate in the cost-free Auto Injector Initiative today!

March is national developmental disabilities awareness month. 

Developmental disabilities are conditions that impair a child's physical, learning, language or behavior. Having a good understanding about developmental milestones can help identify possible delays. Visit the CDC webpage for information and resources about milestones you can share with colleagues and families.

If you have concerns about the development of a child, talk to the family and suggest they reach out to the New York State Early Intervention Program (ages 0-3), the Committee on Preschool Education (CPSE) of the child's school district (ages 3-5) and the Committee on Special Education (CSE) of the child's school district (ages 5-21).

Remember, early detection of developmental disabilities is key to limiting the impacts on the child's long-term development. As the New York State Early Intervention program says, "Early Help Makes a Difference."

March is brain injury awareness month. 

There are two types of brain injuries: non-traumatic and traumatic. Non-traumatic brain injuries begin internally due to disease, poisoning, a hereditary condition, lack of oxygen, stroke or other internal medical conditions. Traumatic brain injuries occur due to external force such as motor vehicle accidents, sports or recreational injuries, domestic violence, falls or child abuse.

For more information on advocacy and support to people and families living with brain injuries, visit the Brain Injury Association of New York State website.

For training about brain injuries and young children, register for our eLearning: "Prevention and Identification of Brain Injuries, including Abusive Head Trauma".

Auto Injector Initiative: "The online Anaphylaxis training is literally a LIFE-SAVER... Everyone needs to take it!" 

"The online Anaphylaxis training is literally a LIFE-SAVER! I don’t know why anyone would not participate in the training and receive the FREE auto-injectors. It is so simple and yet so important to learn about Anaphylaxis. Everyone needs to take it!"

This is just one great point a fellow child care provider shared about the OCFS cost-free Auto Injector Initiative.

Epinephrine is the first line drug of choice for the emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions. Having a non-patient specific auto-injector in your program’s emergency tool kit, and the knowledge on how to use it, is a lifesaving investment.

So, what are you waiting for? Visit the ECETP website to register for the “Identifying and Responding to Anaphylaxis” eLearning course (available in English and Spanish) and get started today!

February is National Canned Food Month 

Canned goods are reasonably affordable, require little to no preparation and have a long shelf life, making them an emergency preparedness necessity.

It's important to store your canned goods properly and not consume any after their expiration date. This can be confusing because cans may have an expiration date and/or a “best by” date printed on them. Visit the Consumer Reports website for more information on this and other things to keep in mind about your canned goods.
