Now more than ever, the health and safety of children requires the collaboration of educators, program administrators, healthcare professionals, communities, and families. Understanding children’s health; creating, implementing, and following sound health and safety policies and procedures; and learning to treat and respond to health concerns and emergencies are critical to the success of every early learning program.

Developed by pediatric physicians, healthcare providers, and early childhood educators, the fully  revised sixth edition of  Healthy Young Children  focuses on how education and healthcare professionals can work with children and families to promote physical and mental health and provide safe and healthy environments.

<li>The need for increased safety measures and training

<li>The latest nutrition and physical and mental health standards and guidelines

<li>The importance of creating and updating health and safety policies and procedures

<li>The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children, families, healthcare professionals, early childhood educators, and early learning programs

Plus, new features provide

<li>Recommendations for making family connections

<li>Tips for health and safety actions that can be implemented quickly

<li>A test bank of over 150 questions for instructors
