Program & Activity Support Prepare and serve healthy meals/snacks on schedule. Lead educational play, crafts, and outdoor activities as part of a play-based curriculum. Assist with implementing structured activities and daily program routines. 4. Policy & Compliance Adhere strictly to OCFS regulations for group family day care, including: Outlet safety, hazard prevention, secure storage of cleaning materials, use of protective caps/covers, and proper behavior management techniques . Participate in monthly evacuation and shelter-in-place drills; maintain records as required . Cooperate with OCFS inspections, maintain accurate attendance records, and ensure all required documentation is complete and accessible . ✅ Qualifications At least 2 years of verified childcare experience. Must pass a background check and tuberculosis screening. Must complete 15 hours of OCFS-approved training within 6 months; 30 hours every two years . CPR/First Aid certified or willingness to obtain.
