Children with Special Needs |
||||
During a National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care and Early Education (NRC) study on health and safety topics in state's Early Learning Guidelines (ELG) (2006-2007), several states reported "children with special needs" as a health and safety topic that they would like to strengthen and/or add to their ELGs. The Toolkit for Integrating Healthy Physical and Mental Development in Early Learning Guidelines addresses health and safety concerns for all young children. Following the publication of Caring for Our Children: National Health and Safety Performance Standards: Guidelines for Out-of-Home Child Care, 2nd Edition (CFOC), the NRC compiled a subset of 101 CFOC standards related to the care of children with special needs for providers and educators asking for more guidance children. The specialized compilation, Children with Special Needs, Applicable Standards from: Caring for Our Children, may supplement standards presented in the Toolkit for Integrating Healthy Physical and Mental Development in Early Learning Guidelines and is accessible at http://nrckids.org/SPINOFF/CSN/CSN.pdf. |
