Health and Safety

In a child care program, the basic needs of the children—their health and safety—are often the most complicated, with strict rules and procedures to follow. They are also the most important, as you are responsible for their physical and emotional well-being.

That’s why it is critical to stay current on regulations surrounding health and safety issues.
