This page is the
gateway for resources to licensed child care providers. If you offer
child care in your home or a center and are not licensed by New York
State, call us to find out how to upgrade your business by becoming
licensed. If you aren’t offering child care yet, but are interested in
finding out about starting a child care business, call Kerry Wolfeil
at
(845)331-7080
or email:
cccouncil@familyofwoodstockinc.org
Once you are licensed, our referral program helps parents find your services and our staff provides support and guidance in planning for inspections and addressing State regulations.
As a child care provider in our licensed network, you can take a range of health, safety, business, and child development trainings to help you comply with regulations and improve the skills of your staff. Our quarterly newsletter is full of great information and ideas for working with children! We have lots of sample forms and shopping lists and information about State Regulations. You can view and even print these out using the links at the bottom of this page.
Further, the Child Care Councils have funds to help you provide nutritious meals and snacks to the children in your care. In 2005, we distributed more than $570,000 in Ulster, Greene, and Columbia counties. Click here to find out more about this financial assistance.
Finally, as a
licensed provider you can take advantage of the extensive Loan Closet
and Lending Library maintained by FAMILY’s Child Care Councils. Books,
toys, videos, equipment, training materials, and other items are
available to help you build and maintain a quality program.
