The work may take place indoors or outdoors; the staff must be able to stay on task in either situation. In addition to _The Early Learning and Child Care Act and Regulations_, the College’s own rules and regulations, staff must be aware and abide by any applicable CCRCE site policies.

- Open/close program as scheduled.
- Identify and partake in professional development opportunities as approved by the College.
- Complete and provide all necessary paperwork to meet expectations and deadlines (including but not limited to, attendance sheets, program documentation, licensing requirements, and children’s records).

- As requested, fill-in at other College daycare sites to ensure ratio.
