Healthy Kids, Healthy Care
The National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care and Early Education (NRC) is pleased to bring you the new web-based tool, Healthy Kids, Healthy Care www.healthykids.us.
Designed for parents, Healthy Kids, Healthy Care contains 34 key health and safety practices for parents and families to look for when evaluating and choosing child care/early education programs. Parents can also use the resources to improve the quality of their child's current program. Parents will find answers to important questions such as:
- When should I keep my sick child home from child care?
- What is the appropriate number of children per caregiver or teacher?
- What should I do when my child is bitten in the classroom?
- Caregivers and teachers will also find the resources useful to evaluate and improve their services and environments.
Healthy Kids, Healthy Care gives quick access to key information, as well as offering users the opportunity to look into a topic in detail. For each topic, Healthy Kids, Healthy Care provides specific ideas for parents on how to help and work in partnership with their caregivers to ensure healthy children and safe environments. The website offers caregivers and parents links to additional web resources related to each topic.
Healthy Kids, Healthy Care is based on Caring for Our Children: National Health and Safety Standards: Guidelines for Out-of-Home Child Care, 2nd edition.
Topics are arranged in 6 clusters: Caregivers, Cleanliness, Emotional Health, Healthy Habits, Illness/ Chronic Conditions/Special Needs, and Safety.
