Childcare Safety First - post

Safety, health, and nutrition in childcare are important concepts that influence providers' everyday day work with children. Each moment that providers spend with young children they must consider any and all safety risks. The most important role of childcare providers is to keep children safe at all times. When providers have a thorough understanding of all aspects of child health, safety, and nutrition they are better prepared to minimize safety risks and design a program that supports optimal health and nutrition.
