Department of Health: -Appreciating Regulatory Agencies

Some daycare directors have very strong, not always positive, feelings about visits from the Department of Health. After all, it’s the Department of Health that generally licenses daycares and what they say goes. The difficulty for some directors is accepting that different inspectors see things differently, and different inspectors can have very different personalities and expectations.

For example, there was a ladder attached to the wall of my rooftop play area. It lead to another higher section of the roof where the air conditioning unit was. The idea was for workmen to use the ladder to access to maintain the air conditioning unit. That was the plan, and the plan, to date, had worked just fine. All other parts of the rooftop play area had been fenced in and passed inspection many times.

The building had been inspected by the Fire Department, The Building Department and the Department of Health. I should mention that these inspections were regular, announced and unannounced and each time everyone said everything was in compliance. (That beautiful word all directors like to hear.)

One day, after 10 years of inspections, a new inspector showed up to look over the same territory. Ho-Hum. Imagine my surprise when the inspector pointed out that that ladder, the very one that so many of us had looked at over the years, was not properly guarded from use by the very children we were trying to protect. After all, from a child’s point-of-view, a ladder mounted to the side of the wall was just another plaything. We were not in compliance, we were given a 30-day period to correct the situation, and worst of all, we were living with a very dangerous situation. Until this violation could be corrected, in the interest of safety, we were not to use the rooftop.

It’s always good to have another set of eyes view what’s going on in childcare. For this reason alone, I am always grateful for the work inspectors do. Of course I’d like everything to be in compliance every time they visit because that makes me look good. But sometimes you can’t see the tree for the forest. The positive interaction between regulatory agencies and childcare professionals can only bring positive results for all concerned.

Inspectors are here to protect children. That’s true. They are also here to use their expertise to protect teachers and administrators as well. What if…that ladder had been discovered by a child who got to the top of the higher, unfenced rooftop before the teacher could get to him?

Training in the World of Computer Training Videos

The days of sitting in a classroom are long over.  While people used to travel from city to city for training classes and seminars, this is not as common as it once was.  Instead, more and more corporations, businesses large and small, and even manufacturers of products are going to computer training videos.

 

The reason for this is that the computer training videos are more cost effective.  Instead of having everyone who needs a specific type of training to come to one central location, the video can be shipped wherever it needs to go or it can even be downloaded by those who need access.  This is simply a lot more cost effective because you are paying for the creation of a DVD and perhaps some postage rather than paying for people to travel from one location to another.

 

The computer training DVD has become more and more common place over the last five to 10 years as companies have seen it be a success for others.  You may receive a computer training DVD on a particular program you need to learn at work, you may be given a DVD for a course you are taking at your local college, and you might even receive one when you buy a new product or item for your home.  The fact of the matter is that these DVD’s are being found and used everywhere and it is because the work!

 

Computer based training has been around since the 1980’s and in the last several years it has managed to touch most people’s lives in one way or another.  Videos and DVD’s are simply a quick and easy way to get information out to an unlimited number of people.  Why make people come to you when you can get your information to them through a video online or even a DVD that you send to them?

 

Of course, there is some cost associated with making the actual training videos or the DVD’s but when you compare the cost to the number of people you can reach without having to pay for travel or anything of the sort, you’ll find that it is more than worth it.  Anyone can make their own DVD’s and their own training videos if they have the knowledge and the tools, so even this doesn’t have to be a huge expense if you don’t want it to be.  If you want to touch the most amount of people with the littlest cost this is a great way to go.  More and more businesses and manufacturers are going this route and you can join them in less time than you might think.  Computer based training ranging from videos, to live streams, to DVD’s are the future of training in every industry!
