HOW DO I ENTER A CHILD CARE SESSION WHEN I AM CARING FOR CHILDREN FROM MORE THAN ONE FAMILY?

Start by entering the Group Service information. Enter the number of children cared for as the number of participants. Then, on the attendees tab, enter the ID numbers of ONLY THE ADULTS that received Child Care as a service. Remember: Child Care is a service provided to an adult client, not a child. The number of participants on the Group Service tab will provide the number of children cared for in that group setting.

Note that when saving this record, a warning message will likely appear stating that the number of Attendees (adult Client ID numbers added to group) does not match the number of Participants (number of children cared for). This is okay; just disregard the message as this is a unique type of group service. The message is just a warning to ensure you do not mistakenly leave out attendees and will not prevent you from saving the record as entered.
