This directors’ roundtable will focus on planning! We’ll outline the 2017-18 BANANAS Directors’ Roundtable events and develop key topics/interest areas for the next year. At this month’s roundtable, you’ll also be able to give feedback about the impact of past roundtable meetings, reflect on what’s working with our meeting structure, and, more importantly, identify ways the roundtable can grow and/or change to support you as center directors in your leadership positions. Join us to ask questions, share experiences, brainstorm, and learn from other center directors while enjoying a light lunch.

These events are held quarterly, on the second Thursday of July, October, January, and April to discuss a variety of topics around running a successful child care center. The focus of each roundtable event rotates depending on what is most relevant in the field of early learning and your own areas of interest. We invite you to join us whether you are a veteran center director or aspire to become one. The more voices and perspectives we have, the more we can learn from one another and provide the best care for children and systems for staff. Previous topics have included updates from Community Care Licensing, how to find and retain staff, and how to be leaders for positive change.

This CPR & First Aid Training course meets the California State regulations for child care providers. You will practice life-saving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and care for choking on manikins. First Aid teaches injury prevention and how to respond to emergencies and accidents. This class covers age birth to adult, though emphasis is placed on pediatric ages cared for in child care programs. This is a two-year certification.

When combined with the Preventive Health class, it meets the state licensing requirement of 16 hours to operate a child care program.

BANANAS offers a discounted price of $135 for providers who enroll in both the CPR First Aid & Preventive Health modules at the same time. If you would like to enroll for both classes, please call us for the discount code.

In this series about addressing racism, we will look at ourselves, what we know, and how we are affected by racism. We will explore privilege and racism and how they impact both us and our children. This will be a chance to identify and undo racism as we examine the underlying societal and personal causes behind it. There is no requirement to attend all three workshops since each one will focus on a different type of personal work and reflection as well as a different type of skill-building. However, if you do choose to attend all three, you will be able to build on what was discussed in previous trainings. As child care providers, this is a truly important topic to discuss. While working with diverse groups of children, we want to be sure we are aware of our own thoughts and feelings and to take the time to reflect on how we can best nurture our youngest learners with love and understanding. We hope you’ll join us for these truly relevant workshops that will not only present a chance to grow and learn, but also provide an opportunity to build strong community with other child care providers.

Series dates: 6/15, 7/20, & 8/17

Note: This series of workshops replaces the Addressing Racism Support Groups listed in our printed catalog.

Are you thinking of opening your own family child care program? If so, this free event is just for you! At this workshop, an experienced staff member will give an overview of each required step in the licensing process. Our bi-lingual facilitator will cover information on health and safety trainings, application submissions, an orientation and follow-up appointment with Community Care Licensing (CCL), how to assess your budgeting needs and potential expenses, and what to think about as you plan your new business venture. There will also be discussion around teacher-child ratios, yearly schedules and vacation days, and how to establish rates for clients. Many aspiring family child care business owners have lots of questions about setting up home environments as spaces for learning, so our instructor will allow for plenty of Q&A time at the workshop as well. This will also include conversation about the impact on other people living in your home and how to best arrange the business in a way that will accommodate residents and clients alike.

Note: To get a family child care license, you have to go to a Community Care Licensing orientation. Be sure to pre-register and pre-pay the $25 fee to attend by calling CCL at 510-622-2602 or going to www.ccld.ca.gov
