Supervision • Our programs maintain a minimum staff to student ratio of one adult for every ten children in a large group setting. • If it is determined that a child requires more individualized attention than what we can reasonably provide to operate a safe program for all, we will work closely with families to explore the best viable options (i.e., truncating the child’s schedule, guiding parents to secure 1:1 support or exploring alternate arrangements). • REACH CYA staff members are dedicated individuals who enjoy working with children. All staff undergo an extensive background check and meet or exceed all requirements set by NYS OCFS. In addition, staff follow an OCFS approved Active Supervision Plan and complete a minimum of 15 hours of professional training annually. • REACH CYA Administrators and Program Site Supervisors oversee the program. In addition, OCFS inspectors visit the programs regularly. • As mandated reporters, staff is required to report any suspicion of abuse or neglect. • Jill Lubeck, School Age Child Care Director, supervises the program staff. Health & Safety • REACH CYA adheres to school district, Department of Health, and CDC (Center for Disease Control) guidelines and protocols. • In accordance with OCFS regulations, parents are responsible for implementing immediate pick- up arrangements in the event their child is sick. This includes signs and symptoms of fever, vomiting, rash, or other infectious illnesses. Parents will be notified immediately in the event of an illness or serious injury. Please notify us if your child is contagious. • REACH CYA is licensed to administer emergency medication only. This includes Epinephrine Injection devices; Diphenhydramine (Benadryl or Generic) when accompanied by an Epinephrine Injector (Diphenhydramine cannot be accepted without an Epinephrine Injector); Inhaler; and Nebulizer. A Written Medication Consent Form, Individual Health Care Plan, Individual Allergy/Anaphylaxis Plan and Individual Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Card must be completed by parent and physician and submitted prior to your child starting the program. Expired medication must be replaced immediately. Child cannot attend until medication is replaced. If a child has an allergy but emergency medication is not required to be on site Form 1A is also required. • It is important for parents to inform REACH CYA of any special health, behavioral or developmental needs their child may have. Detailed information must be provided on the Medical, Behavioral or Developmental Needs form in the registration packet. An Individual Health Care Plan is required to help meet a child’s needs. Our child care programs cannot provide toileting assistance. • If a child arrives to our program with any indication of injury and the REACH CYA office does not have a doctor’s note, gross motor activities will be restricted until a note is secured. The school district does not share parent provided doctor’s notes with REACH CYA.
