Managing a Safe Child Care

Description

Every day in the United States, two dozen children die from an injury that was not intended (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). Parents, directors, and staff must be advocates for children and understand their role in the protection of children. Young children are fast and want to discover on their own. Accidents occur quickly and it is the director’s responsibility to ensure that everyone is ensuring that the center puts safety first. So often I hear people say “I can’t afford to do that” but in reality, you can’t afford it. You might not be able to buy large expensive equipment or materials: however, you can afford to make sure that your center is risk-free, safe and a healthy place for children to explore, discover and learn.
