You are the owner and director of a small childcare facility. You recently closed down your facility to completely remodel both the physical structure and the operational structure. The physical renovations are finally complete, and you have been working on hiring a new team of employees and getting them properly trained and educated not only on the procedures for your facility but on the policies imposed on childcare facilities by the state in which you reside. In order to help you convey a lot of information to your new hires all at once in an organized way, you’ve decided to make a slideshow presentation to use and discuss during your introductory training meeting. You want to give your new employees an overview of the legal policies that go along with working in a childcare facility. The items that you will discuss and explain are: A basic overview of the components of your state's statutes as they relate to areas of child care standards Minimum state standards for screening owners, operators, staff, and volunteers of childcare centers Current childcare issues and proposed laws and ordinances that govern state and local licensing and inspection of childcare facilities Legislation and public policies affecting young children and school-age children Legal requirement and protection provided to childcare workers in reporting suspected child abuse and neglect according to your state's law
