OSWEGO COUNTY – A partnership of Central New York business, education and support agencies offers a free program to help people become New York State registered and licensed in-home child care providers.
Participants will receive business and education training to gain the knowledge and skills needed to provide high quality child care, as well as support with state registration and licensing processes.
Those interested in this unique opportunity are invited to attend one of the following free information sessions:
- Tuesday, Feb. 6 at 6 p.m.; Integrated Community Planning of Oswego County, Inc., 317 W. First St., Suite 111, Oswego.

The home-based child care business program is provided by Oswego County, Integrated Community Planning of Oswego County, Inc. (IPOC), Small Business Development Center, Jefferson Community College and Oswego County Workforce New York (OCWNY).
Jefferson Community College provides virtual workshops to help participants evaluate their ideas and make decisions about how to best plan their programs and daily routines. They will also review behavior management and discipline policies. All of these components will help participants personalize the Family Policy Handbook to meet the needs of their individual business.
In addition, the Small Business Development Center offers five virtual workshops covering business basics, marketing, liability and insurance, accounting and entrepreneurship.
The Child Care & Development Council of Oswego County, part of ICPOC, will help with the New York State Child Care registration process as well as provide assistance with regulations and licensing.
