The New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) has specific regulations about giving medication to children in child day care settings. The regulations require all child day care programs that choose to administer medication, other than over-the-counter topical ointments, sunscreen and topically applied insect repellent, to meet certain conditions including having staff who are approved to give medication in a child care setting. OCFS approved the Medication Administration Training (MAT) course to fulfill this requirement. The Medication Administration Training provides child day care providers with the knowledge and skills to safely give medication to children in a child care setting.Individual Providers can apply for a rebate to help offset the cost of this training. MAT Rebate applications can be found here - http://www.ecetp.pdp.albany.edu/matgrant.shtm
