Description: Hazard mapping for early care and education programs is a proactive approach to identifying potential risks and hazards within the environment where children learn and play. By conducting a hazard map, program administrators can assess and address #safety concerns such as uneven flooring, sharp edges, unstable furniture, and other potential dangers. The goal is to create a safe and secure space for children, where hazards are minimized or completely eliminated, allowing them to explore and engage in activities without fear of injury or harm.
