Background:
The Ohio Child Licensing and Quality System (OCLQS) went live on
January 30, 2017. This system is used in accordance with rule unless otherwise noted
below. The updated information in this procedure letter replaces FCCMPL 6.
Updated Process:
Pre-licensing Training
The procedure for completing the pre-licensing training has been
updated. Beginning October 25, 2018,
the "Pre-licensing Training for Family Child Care Providers" must be completed
in the Ohio Professional Registry (OPR) and will no longer be available online.
The ODJFS website version of the pre-licensing training will no longer be accepted.
If you already completed the pre-licensing training on the ODJFS website, the documentation
must be submitted to prelicensing@jfs.ohio.gov by November 16, 2018. Once the pre-licensing
training is completed in the OPR, the applicant can begin the application process
in OCLQS.
Continued Requirements:
New Staff Orientation
Until the training is available in the OPR, the staff orientation
continues to be available on the ODJFS website at https://jfs.ohio.gov/cdc/Licensing_Training.stm.
Completion of the training should be documented on the JFS 01307 "Professional
Development Documentation for Child Care" and kept on file at the program.
The provider shall sign at the bottom of the JFS 01307 to attest that the child
care staff member completed the training.
ODJFS Prescribed Child Abuse Overview
Until the training is available in the OPR, the one-hour child abuse
overview training continues to be available on the ODJFS website at https://jfs.ohio.gov/cdc/Licensing_Training.stm
. Completion of the training should be documented in the "Child Abuse Prevention"
section on the JFS 01276 "Health Training Documentation for Child Care."
Please note in the "Other Hours" section of the JFS 01276 that the one-hour
child abuse overview training was completed. The provider shall sign the "trainer
section" to attest that the child care staff member completed the training
and keep a copy of the form on file at the program.
