SEXUALIZED BEHAVIORS IN CHILDREN AND YOUTHWhat’s NewThe Military Family Learning Network is presenting a webinar on “Sexualized Behaviors in Children and Youth”, helping service providers become more informed on this important topic. CYP Management and Training professionals are strongly encouraged to attend this webinar on May 22 at 11:00 AM EST.
Child sexual abuse can be a very tough topic to discuss. However, it is very important when preparing families and professionals with strategies to keep kids safe and thriving during childhood and youth. In this webinar Dr. Shelly Martin, a child abuse pediatrician and US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, will review and explore normal, concerning and problematic sexualized behaviors that children may display. Additionally, various factors
associated with children’s sexualized behaviors will be identified to assist clinicians in understanding appropriate assessment and disclosure processes involved when problematic symptoms are present. A flyer with more information on this training is available at https://elibrary.cnic-n9portal.net/document-library/?id=544
NAYS QUALITY PROGRAM PROVIDER DESIGNATIONCongratulations to the 13 CYPs that earned the National Alliance for Youth Sports (NAYS) Better Sports for Kids Quality Program Provider designation in 2018! Like the Good Housekeeping Seal given to products that meet high standards, this designation recognizes those organizations that have met an equally high standard when it comes to administering youth sports programming. Any CYP can apply to be evaluat-ed for the designation, and no cost is involved. Additionally, the designation enables CYPs to showcase the quality of their programs and highlight the benefits of children being involved in their offerings. The designation replaced the preliminary application for the NAYS Excellence for Youth Sports Awards, which every YSF program must apply for annually. Therefore, for YSF programs to be invited to apply for the Excellence in Youth Sports Award, a CYP must first earn the designation. The designation is valid for two (2) years before renewal is required and CYPs that possess the designation will be automatically invitedto apply to the Excellence in Youth Sports Award both years they possess the designation. CNIC CYP willprovide CYP Region and Installation Managers periodic updates on the CYPs that possess the designation.
2018 Recipients of the NAYS Better Sports for Kids Quality Program Provider Designation: NSA Andersen, NSA Bahrain, NS Great Lakes, NS Guantanamo Bay, NAS Lemoore, NS Norfolk, NAS Oceana, NSA Panama City, JB Pearl Harbor-Hickam, NS Rota, CFA Sasebo, NAS Sigonella, CFA Yokosuka.

What’s New CONTINUED UPDATED VLS CONTENT: COLLABORATIVE GOAL SETTINGThe Virtual Lab School team has recently added additional content to both the Training & Curriculum Specialist and Management Tracks in the Program Management course, Lesson 2: Program Support.
In an effort enhance the focus on goal setting with staff, additional content has been added to this lesson in the T&C track that covers collaborative goal setting. Collaborative goal setting occurs when the coach and the learner equally contribute to assess competency, establish goals and action, and implement practic-es. The content will provide additional guidance to trainers for goal-setting during both VLS coaching with newer staff members as well as with seasoned staff during quarterly coaching sessions.
For Managers, additional content has been added to this lesson covering connecting individual staff performance evaluations and goal setting and creating collaborative teams.
All Training & Curriculum Specialists and Managers are strongly recommended to revisit Program Man-agement, Lesson 2 in either the Program Manager or Training & Curriculum Specialist track and view all content in the Learn section.

Summer is fast approaching, so make sure you have prepared your Summer Camp weeks for the current season. Camp weeks should be reused each year, instead of adding new ones. At this point in time, some of you already have Summer Camp weeks updated, and are ready to go. For those of you who still have to prepare, follow these steps in order:
Step 1 – Verify all children from last year’s rosters have been transferred to history. 1A – Run a Trial Balance Report to see if any enrollees still have a balance on their account. 1B – Take corrective action to remove these balances. 1C – Transfer all children from last year to history (Roster Transfer to History (ALL)).
Step 2 – Verify the setup for each camp section (week) is correct. 2A – Change ‘Begin Date’ and ‘End Date’ to this year’s dates for each camp week respectively (section 1 is week 1, section 2 is week 2, and so on). Begin Date should always be a Monday, End Date should always be a Friday.
CYMS B/A (Before/After) SCHOOL PRORATE FOR CAMP ProgramThis program prorates the last Before/After bills for the current school year, cancels all Before/After billing during Summer, and prorates the first Before/After bills for the upcoming school year.
Timing is VERY Important: The ‘B/A School Prorate for Camp’ process MUST BE RUN BEFORE the last Before/After School billing is run for the current school year.
Example:• Before/After School ends on 6/21/2019 (last billing would be 6/15/2019)• Summer Camp runs 6/24/2019 – 8/30/2019 (weekly camp billings)• Before/After School begins again on 9/3/2019 (first billing would be 9/1/2019)
Prior to the 6/15/2019 Before/After school billing, CYS B/A School Prorate for Camp must be run. Exact dates for when School ends, and when School resumes must be entered. For our example above dates would be ‘School ends’ on 6/21/2019, ‘School resumes’ on 9/3/2019.

CYMS CHILD’S FILE - FLU SEASON 2018-2019
CHILD MOVED TO SAC - OVERDUE SHOTS ARE POPPING UPIf a child in the SAC program, or school-age child in any CYP who is not homeschooled has overdue shots, the shot documentation requirements should be waived. For each overdue shot:• Click the ‘Waive this Shot’ checkbox.• In the ‘Shot Comments’ field, type “The child is now in
school, CYP no longer needs to track shots”, followed by the date of entry and staff member’s initials.
Note: Documentation from a physician is not required.
REMINDER FOR SETTING UP AUTO-DEBITEach center can only set up Auto-Debits for their own program. A clerk at CDC 1 cannot set up auto-debit for any other center’s bill except their own. Meaning, Auto-Debit can only be done at CDC 1 for CDC 1’s program bills, at CDC 2 for CDC 2’s program bills, or at SAC 1 for SAC 1’s program bills, etc. This is due to the Program’s unique Merchant number.
PAYMENT WAS POSTED TO THE WRONG HOUSEHOLD - NOW WHAT?1) Reverse the Incorrect Payment via Global Payment Reversal using Payment Code #2 (Cash) from the wrong household.2) Then post the payment via Global Sales using Payment Code #2 (Cash) into the correct household.Note: It is very important to use the same payment code for both transactions

HOURLY CARE IMPLEMENTATIONAll CYP Directors are reminded that implementation of the Hourly Care Program is a requirement and must be implemented IAW the Hourly Care Guidebook, available on the CYP E-library. Additionally, an update to the Hourly Care Online Training Video and Hour Care Guidebook is in development and will be published soon. CYP Professionals must work as a team to coordinate all aspects of hourly care in order for it to run smoothly within the program. Everyone has an important role to play – from CYP Op-erations Clerks who have initial contact with families, to CYP Directors who develop procedures to support implementation of the policy, to CYP Professionals in the classrooms who integrate hourly children into the daily routine, and CYP Leads and Training and Curriculum (T&C) Specialists who provide support and training in classroom management.
The CDC and SAC Hourly Care Available Space Tools predict absences so that parents can make reservations 30 days in advance. The tools provide calculations for (a) program-specific vacancy rates based on predicted enrollment and (b) absences based on Navy-wide trends. The predicted absences, which are required to be calculated weekly, must be populated into CYMS Hourly Care, which will automatically synchronize with CYP Online so that parents can reserve hourly care spaces 30 days in advance. Opera-tions Clerks must complete the Hourly Care Space Available Tool each week for the next four weeks and update CYMS Hourly Care accordingly. Blackout periods for reservations are not permitted. For 24/7 Centers, the Director must predict available spaces by reviewing child enrollments, vacancies, and shift workers’/watch standers work schedules. In addition, a waitlist system must be established for parents unable to reserve desired hourly care space.
Programs requesting to deviate from the Hourly Care implementation policy must do so, in writing, via an Operational Review Request.
Focus On CHILD AND YOUTH PROGRAMS
IMMUNIZATIONS PROCEDURESNavy CYP requires that all children from birth until they enter school be immunized and have documentation in order to attend a CDC and CDH program. For SAC, this requirement applies for all homeschooled youth attending our programs. Families may request an exception to our immunization policies for two specific reasons; 1) medical conditions and (2) religious beliefs. Parents must be notified that the risk of preventable disease exist in a child care group setting when making the decision not to immunize. Programs are required to document all immunizations and waivers in CYMS. We are reinforcing the documentation requirement as we are still seeing inconsistent data in CYMS regarding immunizations and waivers. Directors are required to conduct ongoing CYMS monitoring, regularly scheduled audits, and should implement corrective action as needed to address issues (e.g., missing records, inaccurate or outdated information, or problems with timeliness of documentation). Guidance pertaining to immunization documentation can be found in the Household Records User Guide- CYMS at https://elibrary.cnic-n9portal.net/document-library/?id=1126.
If the CYP has an illness or disease outbreak, Directors are required to coordinate and follow the guidance of the installation’s med-ical professionals (i.e. Preventive Medicine) regarding any child exclusions resulting from illness or disease outbreak, including when children who have been excluded may return to the program. This also includes the protocols for unimmunized children. The deci-sion on whether or not to exclude unimmunized children, and for how long, is made by the medical professionals, not our programs. To prepare for this contingency, all programs MUST maintain a current list of unimmunized children, by immunization, to allow for quick identification in the case of an illness or disease outbreak. This same process is REQUIRED for employees as well, Directors are required to coordinate with the installation’s medical professionals and HR to determine if temporary placement can be accommo-dated or full exclusion is required.
In the event an outbreak is confirmed, programs are required to work closely with leadership and the POA to develop a communi-cation plan for staff and families, to include information about the potential for classroom closures, fact sheet on disease preven-tion, schedule changes, facility closures, community support, etc. The PAO would address all public concerns through local media as necessary. Programs are required to notify our office as a part of this protocol, even in cases when an outbreak is not confirmed but there are concerns that an outbreak may be imminent.
As childhood illnesses are inevitable in a child care setting, programs should already be working very closely with their Preventive Medicine SME’s on protocols for handling typical childhood diseases and in all cases implementing safeguards immediately to mini-mize the spread of infection when a case of a preventable disease is confirmed to include:1. Ensure increased procedures are implemented for sanitation of toys, furniture and surface areas;2. Identify individual(s) in the program who will train/educate staff and families on the importance of personal hygiene efforts (e.g., washing hands, following hygiene/cough etiquette, obtaining seasonal influenza vaccine, and staying home when sick);3. Coordinate with Preventive Medicine on notification to families of confirmed cases with information on possible signs and symp-toms for early recognition.
As a reminder, guidance is found in OPNAV 1700 9.e and in the Enrollment and Recordkeeping Operating Standards.

Do you have a best practice, program, or process that your classroom, home, program, installation, or region has implemented that you think could help others? If so, please contact [email protected] with an article describing your best practice, program, or process. Publishing articles in the CYP Communicator is a great profession-al development opportunity for CYP staff at all levels, and the sharing of best practices, programs, and processes benefits all CYP professionals and children. Keep articles to 500 words or less, and feel free to include photos or documents that may be helpful. If photos of children are sent, please ensure the parents have granted permission for photos of their child to be used on the Permission Statements Form.
