. Northern Region’s Summer Quarter July, Aug, Sept 2010 Dear Friends, Since our new contract year begins on July 1 st , we are getting excited about the services we will be highlighting in the coming months. One important initiative is our Side by Side Mentoring program. Research is telling us that while CCR&R classes are great, providers really flourish when they invite an early childhood expert into their home or classroom to share additional helpful techniques and insights. Our new funding is making this opportunity a reality. If you ever thought it would be fun to have someone at your side with helpful insights and creative ideas, check out the information on the Side By Side Mentoring page later in this newsletter. Whether you are in a center or a home child care, we are excited to get your request to use this friendly service. Are you one of our providers who would like to get more referrals? In the last few months we have seen a trend in parent feedback surveys that shows concern for the accuracy of our information about the schools you serve. When you add transportation to a previously unserved school or stop transporting to a school, please give us a call so we can update your profile. Our information about your hours and services dictates how often we refer your name, and we want to give out your information as often as possible. On the good news front , referral calls are picking up. Since the first of the year, calls have increased about 25% over the same time in 2009. We know that this has been a rough economic time for child care providers, and as a thank you for your continuing support of our classes, we are lowering our prices for the coming fiscal year. Starting with classes taught after July 1 st , class fees will be reduced to $15. Remember, the Kids in Care program pays child care for unemployed parents during job search activities. When a parent lets you know that they have lost their job, please have them contact us immediately. We can determine if they are eligible for this helpful program. The sooner a parent gets employed, the sooner you will have their children in your care full time again. Thank you for your continuing dedication to the families in our communities --Leslie For questions about the CDA or starting a child care, call either 626-8083 or 626-8047 .

Northern Region’s

Summer Quarter July, Aug, Sept 2010

Dear Friends, Since our new contract year begins on July 1st, we are getting excited

about the services we will be highlighting in the coming months. One important initiative is our Side by Side Mentoring program. Research is telling us that while CCR&R classes are great, providers really flourish when they invite an early childhood expert into their home or classroom to share additional helpful techniques and insights. Our new funding is making this opportunity a reality. If you ever thought it would be fun to have someone at your side with helpful insights and creative ideas, check out the information on the Side By Side Mentoring page later in this newsletter. Whether you are in a center or a home child care, we are excited to get your request to use this friendly service.

Are you one of our providers who would like to get more referrals? In the last few months we have seen a trend in parent feedback surveys that shows concern for the accuracy of our information about the schools you serve. When you add transportation to a previously unserved school or stop transporting to a school, please give us a call so we can update your profile. Our information about your hours and services dictates how often we refer your name, and we want to give out your information as often as possible.

On the good news front, referral calls are picking up. Since the first of the year, calls have increased about 25% over the same time in 2009. We know that this has been a rough economic time for child care providers, and as a thank you for your continuing support of our classes, we are lowering our prices for the coming fiscal year. Starting with classes taught after July 1st, class fees will be reduced to $15.

Remember, the Kids in Care program pays child care for unemployed parents during job search activities. When a parent lets you know that they have lost their job, please have them contact us immediately. We can determine if they are eligible for this helpful program. The sooner a parent gets employed, the sooner you will have their children in your care full time again.

Thank you for your continuing dedication to the families in our communities

That’s $43,000 in awards!! The Career Ladder Program recognizes and rewards child care professionals for the completion of ongoing training in the child care field. A growing body of research demonstrates that the quality of care children receive is directly tied to the level of training and education of those who care for them. Participants in the Career Ladder Program receive a certification and cash bonus for each level of training they complete. In addition, any Career Ladder course may also be

used for required state licensing training hours. Career Ladder Endorsements offer focused training in specific areas. Each endorsement consists of 40 hours of

specialized training. The Training & Longevity Supplement is an annual award and wage supplement available to individuals employed working with children ages birth through school age in licensed center and family child care programs who participate in the Career Ladder. The purpose of this program is to improve the quality of care children receive by improving training and reducing turnover among their caregivers.

If you have any questions about these programs, you can call our office and speak with Crystal at 801-626-8083 or you can attend one of our Career Ladder Orientation workshops. To see when the next workshop

is scheduled, check our Training Schedule in this newsletter.

CCR&R Northern’s Training Policies You must pre-register. You will not be considered registered in our classes until we receive the registration form and your payment. We require that you pre-register for our classes for a couple of reasons: 1- Due to the amount of materials we distribute in class, we need to have an accurate count of how many providers will be attending each one and enough time to prepare them. 2- Weber State University has set strict guidelines for us to follow when handling money. They will not allow any money to remain in the office unsecured, overnight. We also do not want to put your information at risk by having it sit on a desk overnight. It is for your privacy and safety that we request you send in your money. If you do not wish to send your money in through the mail you may come into our office during office hours, 8am-4:00pm and register in person. We do not encourage cash, but if that is all you have, please bring exact change. Money can not be accepted at the training. Each registration form will let you know where to send it. Please check the training schedule page on our website (http://programs.weber.edu/ccrr) to see if a class is full or has been rescheduled or cancelled. All training participants must review and sign the Statewide CCR&R Training Participant Code of Conduct each time you register. If there is no signature, your registration form will be sent back for you to sign. We will not be able to hold your spot in any class and you may miss out on the class that you want to register for. We are not able to register any one for a class without the signed copy of the Code of Conduct. The registration form has the information we need for the Utah State Training Registry and must be filled out in full. An incomplete registration form will delay your registration and you may miss the class you are trying to register if it fills before we can collect the information we need. If you have any questions about the information we collect, you can contact our office at 801-626-7784. If you are sending registrations for more than one person, you must include a registration form for each person and each person must sign the Training Participant Code of Conduct. The form has the information we need for the Utah State Training Registry, without it we cannot register you for any of our classes. Also, each person must sign a copy of the Utah State CCR&R Training Participant Code of Conduct. Without that signature, no one will be able to attend classes. Registration for each class will close 7 days prior to the start of class. No registrations will be accepted within a week of the class' start date. This will give us time to prepare the right amount of materials. We register for classes one quarter at a time. You may register only for the classes listed in our current newsletter. Each quarter's class schedule and registration form can be found in our quarterly newsletter, the Child Care Connector. The newsletter is published every Septe mber, December, March and June. The schedule and registration form will also be posted on our website shortly after it has been sent in the mail. Sorry, we are not able to issue a refund. If we receive money from you for a class that is already full, we can give you the option of sending the check back to you or sending you a credit voucher. When a class is full, it will be posted on the training schedule page on our website at http://programs.weber.edu/ccrr. You can always call our office at 801-626-7837 to check if the class is full before sending in the registration form or check our online schedule. If you are unable to attend a class and you call at least three days before the first session starts, we can send you a credit voucher. Sorry, we are not able to refund money. Please be sure to call during office hours 8am-4:00pm. You can reach us either at 801-626-7837, 801-626-7784, or toll free at 1-888-970-0101. We cannot issue a credit voucher if you fail to notify us before the first session of a class. Each 10 hour class is broken down into four sessions. If you miss one or two session(s) in a class, no money can be refunded. However, you can make it up when that session is taught again, without repaying. You also have the option of making-up the session you missed with another CCR&R agency without having to pay again. We have an agreement with our sister agencies that allows you to make up one or two sessions with them. Just contact them for their times and registration policies.

To register for a make-up session with us, simply fill out the registration form and circle the dates you need to

make up, write "make-up" in the amount enclosed section and send it in. Be sure to include the signed Code of Conduct with the form. We have a limited number of make-up slots available for each night so please let us

know if you are registered for a make-up session and are unable to attend. We need to have a minimum number of providers enrolled to conduct the class. Classes, which

don't meet these minimum numbers five days before the class, will be either cancelled or rescheduled. We will notify you and send you a credit voucher for another class.

Classes may be canceled due to weather. We follow Weber State University's policies regarding this issue. If the

campus is closed, our classes will be canceled. If not, classes will be held. You can call Weber State at 801-626-6000 to find out if the campus has been closed. We will also leave a message on our main phone line 801-626-7837. All classes canceled due to weather will be rescheduled. Certificates are given to participants on the last day of class. If you are making up a session, let the trainer know, they can get the certificate to you sooner. If you do not receive a certificate within two weeks of the final session, contact our office at 801-626-7784. There will be a $5 charge for a replacement certificate .
