Kids, Healthy Care:
Parents
as Partners in Promoting
Healthy and Safe Child Care
Welcome
to Healthy Kids, Healthy Care, developed by the National Resource Center for Health and Child Care and Early Education.
We know you are visiting this Website because you want your
children to be nurtured and safe at all times!
You want your children to grow up healthy and secure. Both
are critical to your children's growth and development and
affect their ability to learn and have fun.
Good health and safety practices are important in all early
care and educational settings. This includes family child care homes and center-based programs such as early child care, preschool, and before- and after-school programs.
We are calling all of these types of programs "child care" on
this Website--in order to be brief.
This website is for parents of children who attend child care
programs. We hope this guide will meet your needs for current,
expert information and lead you to other useful resources.
To find answers to your questions
about health and safety issues for young
children, select a topic from the categories
on the right.
