The email will be coming from the sender ocfs.sm.marketratesurvey@ocfs.ny.gov and have the subject line, 2023 Child Care Market Rate Survey Invitation. Please read this letter carefully. Thank you!

Esta información es muy importante. Nos ayuda a actualizar las tarifas de pago del Programa de asistencia para cuidado infantil (antes conocido como programa de subsidios para el cuidado infantil), para que se ajusten a los precios locales.

    Este mes de septiembre, el equipo de la Encuesta de tarifas del mercado enviará a todos los proveedores una invitación a la encuesta electrónica por correo electrónico que contiene un enlace a la Encuesta de tarifas del mercado de cuidado infantil 2023.

Dear Provider Letters – November 2022
  • November 14 – Cold Weather and Respiratory Illnesses

    As the cold weather creeps in, cases of respiratory viruses creep up. Respiratory virus infections such as COVID-19, seasonal influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can be dangerous in young children. To help keep New Yorkers healthy, Governor Hochul recently launched a public awareness campaign warning of the triple threat posed by these respiratory illnesses. The campaign includes resources and videos outlining the steps to take to protect yourself and your family. View the video clips. The New York State Department of Health (DOH) released a Health Advisory Notice in September encouraging the public to remain up to date on vaccines, and to avoid close contact with people who are sick. For the most up to date information on respiratory virus infections visit DOH RSV.

    This letter contains important reminders on how to prevent and respond to illness in your child care program. Please take the time to review the regulations regarding health and infection control and your program’s Health Care Plan, and be sure to share all of this information with staff and families.

La campaña incluye recursos y videos que describen los pasos a seguir para protegerle a usted y a su familia. Mira los videos. El Departamento de Salud del Estado de Nueva York (DOH) publicó un Aviso de Salud en septiembre alentando al público a mantenerse al día con las vacunas y evitar el contacto cercano con personas enfermas. Para obtener la información más actualizada sobre infecciones por virus respiratorios, visite el portal: DOH RSV.

    Esta carta contiene recordatorios importantes sobre cómo prevenir y responder a las enfermedades en su programa de cuidado infantil.

  • August 19 - Dear Provider Letter - Elijah's Law
    In 2019 Governor Cuomo signed new legislation called “Elijah’s Law”. The law is named after 3-year-old Elijah Silvera from New York City who was given a grilled cheese sandwich while at day care despite having a known severe dairy allergy. After Elijah went into anaphylaxis, his family was not told what he had eaten and 911 was not called. Elijah died in November 2017. Implementation of Elijah’s Law requires changes to your child care program, valuable, potentially life-saving changes, that are intended to prevent further tragedy.
    See the Elijah's Law page for more information.
