The first vodcast – Swimming, Wading, Water Activity Provider Training – is a 40-minute video that reviews regulatory requirements surrounding water activity as outlined in the Pennsylvania code. However, the vodcast does not satisfy requirements for water safety instruction.

The other vodcast – Provider Tiered POC Training – is a nine-minute video that explains how a tiered LIS includes a directed plan of correction that requires more than one step to come into compliance for one area of regulatory non-compliance. The tiered summary video walks viewers through the process of completing tiered LIS training. A tiered POC tip sheet was provided for providers as an additional resource.

Both vodcasts and other information about operating a child care facility can be found on the state’s Early Childhood Education page.
