We are continually making changes and updates to the Baby Café USA Web Site by adding new features and reports. To keep you, our BC Facilitators, informed, we have created this page which contains a listing of all new enhancements, when they were implemented and a description of their purpose.

May - June 2023:
BC Expense & Operations Survey Input Form Access from the BCUSA Web Site
Because many Baby Café Facilitators had difficulty accessing the 2022 Annual Expense & Operations Survey Input Forms using the links we delivered via e-mail, we have added direct access to the input forms through the BC-USA web site. There are two places where the survey input forms can be found:

Because many Baby Café Facilitators had difficulty accessing the 2022 Annual Expense & Operations Survey Input Forms using the links we delivered via e-mail, we have added direct access to the input forms through the BC-USA web site. There are two places where the survey input forms can be found:
- Option 1: In the "BC Staff Portal" drop-down there is a new item: "2022 Expense & Operations Survey Links" which takes you to a page containing launch buttons for both survey input forms.
- Option 2: At the bottom of the "For Facilitators" page there is a new section that has the launch buttons for both Survey Input Forms.
There is a new navigation link at the top of the "For Facilitators" page which allows you to quickly jump to the Survey Input Form section.
Several Café Facilitators have asked for a way to view their Survey Responses. So we have also added two new reports to the Survey Section, one for each survey. These reports enable you to VIEW, EDIT & DOWNLOAD any Expense or Operations Survey Response that you have already created. They are a good way to review and trend your answers from past surveys.
May 2023:
Parents can now Register without providing their Email Address
To better support parent privacy, we modified the Baby Café Registration Input Form to allow Parents to enter their Registration and Demographic data without having to include their email address. The default form prompts parents to enter and confirm their email address. But now there is a new option which allows parents to check a box if they don't wish to provide their email address or don't have a valid one.

February 2024:
Additional Count Fields added to the Staff Attendance Reports Process
By request, we've added 3 new count fields to the Staff Attendance Data Input Form. These counts are for the number of mom's consulted with outside of the Baby Café environment, i.e. Phone Consultations, In-Home Consultations and/or Hospital Consultations. These counts can be entered in association with an existing Baby Café Session or under a separate date.
On the Staff Session Attendance Input Form, a new Session Type has been added for Off-Site counts that do not occur on a date where a Baby Café session was held: "Off-Site Consulting Only".
