CCP Program Management and Administration

Question 1

Which record must a child care program keep on file for each enrolled child to authorize emergency medical treatment?

Accepted Answer

A signed parental consent and emergency contact form

Answer

Programs must keep signed parental authorization and emergency contact information on file for every child so staff can act quickly in an emergency. The other items do not authorize treatment.

Question 2

A director wants to make sure the program stays financially sound. Which practice is most important?

Accepted Answer

Creating and regularly reviewing a budget that covers staffing, supplies, and facilities

Answer

A budget that is reviewed regularly lets a director match income to the program's largest costs, such as staffing, supplies, and facilities, and catch problems early.

Question 3

What is the primary purpose of state child care licensing regulations?

Accepted Answer

To establish minimum health, safety, and staffing standards that protect children

Answer

Licensing sets minimum standards for things like staff-to-child ratios, background checks, facility safety, and health practices so that children are protected.

Question 4

Why do programs set staff-to-child ratios and maximum group sizes?

Accepted Answer

To make sure children get adequate supervision and individual attention

Answer

Lower ratios and smaller groups allow caregivers to supervise closely and respond to each child. This improves safety and the quality of interactions.

Question 5

Which approach to staff supervision and professional development best supports program quality?

Accepted Answer

Providing ongoing feedback, regular evaluations, and training opportunities

Answer

Ongoing feedback, regular evaluation, and relevant training help staff grow and keep care consistent. Written job descriptions also make expectations clear.
