Have you ever wondered how the environment or the chemicals used in your program impact the children and staff?

Join this session with three national experts to learn about their experiences making children's environments healthy.

A note to let you know that our annual Fall Conference will be on Oct 20, 2012 from 7:30 AM to 2:15 PM, here at the Cooperative Extension auditorium.
This year, we are having as our Keynote Speaker, Betsy Evans, Author of "You Can't Come to My Birthday Party" and "You're Not My Friend Anymore". She is also a High Scope Education Consultant and  a Conflict Resolution Specialist. Her Presentations is entitled "Stop Bullying Before it Starts: What Adults Can Do to Stop Hurtful Behavior Before it Becomes a Pattern of Bullying". She will also provide a follow up to her keynote....a 2-part workshop that will go more in depth about the strategies to use to identify and manage difficult behavior. We also have other workshops for those who want to take something else after the keynote presentation I am attaching the brochure but you will also get one in the mail. Since bullying is a concern for parents as well, we are opening it up to parents to attend this year. Will you please post this information on your parent bulletin board or share it with them?
Thanks so much
Lorraine

Thank you to all who participated in the meeting this morning. I hope that you found the information and discussions helpful. I mentioned to all of you that this year the economic census will include the industry of child care. Attached is some information about the census. As I mentioned this morning, if you receive a survey, please take the time to complete and return it. Child Care needs to be identified as an integral part of this nation's economy and you can help it happen!
Lorraine

Subject: Economic Census Surveys to be Sent to Child Care Providers
Importance: High

Greetings Everyone:

This from the census bureau with important information about the upcoming 2012 Economic Census:




In November and December, more than 4 million American businesses, including 270,000 businesses in New York, will receive 2012 Economic Census forms. Responses to the questionnaire are required by law (Title 13, U.S. Code), to be returned by February 12, 2013.



Every 5 years, the Economic Census develops a comprehensive portrait of American business, from the national to the local level. Timely and accurate data are vital to effective public policy and important to your association and your members.



We've created a special Web page at business.census.gov<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTIwOTE5LjEwNjA3MzYxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDEyMDkxOS4xMDYwNzM2MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MTY1NzU1JmVtYWlsaWQ9bWJhc2xvZUBlYXJseWNhcmVhbmRsZWFybmluZy5vcmcmdXNlcmlkPW1iYXNsb2VAZWFybHljYXJlYW5kbGVhcm5pbmcub3JnJmZsPSZleHRyYT1NdWx0aXZhcmlhdGVJZD0mJiY=&&&101&&&http://business.census.gov> to tell your members about the Economic Census, and provide statistics they can use to assess and grow their business operations.

Here is some additional Q/A sent to me by Sue Kowaleski - Southern Adirondack CCR&R:


1.  Can you tell me who in the child care field gets a questionnaire?

All employer establishments, but some may be sampled depending on its size, so not all necessarily.
2.  And how the census bureau knows to whom they should be sent?

Through the Business Register (BR) which has IRS and Social Security information.

3.  Is there any way to sign up to be sure one gets a questionnaire?

No, it's done automatically with the BR information.

4.  If someone in business does not receive a questionnaire by Jan 1, 2013, can they request one?

No, only if the Census Bureau has them scheduled to receive a form, if they never get one, then they will not be included nor expected to fill out the form.

5.  Or download one?

For viewing purposes only, but not to respond, for that they must be re-mailed.

6.  How does it work?

The Census Bureau has set companies who get mailed; it's not up to my branch to make the decision.   All companies who have multiple locations (what we refer to as Multi-Unit enterprises) are mailed forms.  A sample is taken of the Single-Unit enterprises with employees based on computations derived by mathematical statisticians (it is not a random selection of businesses).  A lot of care is taken to ensure the sample is representative of all Single-Unit employers in that industry, in the US.  One respondent in the sample may count as several in the census (i.e. if that response has a sample weight of 4, then it counts as if 4 establishments had returned that data.)  That makes it even more important for any small business that receives a form to return it, since they are representing more than themselves.



I have also attached a quick "Fact Sheet.". Please distribute information about the Economic Census to providers in your CCR&R service area.



Thank you.
