About the Book

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.

Highlights of the new edition include discussions on
The need for increased safety measures and training
The latest nutrition and physical and mental health standards and guidelines
The importance of creating and updating health and safety policies and procedures
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children, families, healthcare professionals, early childhood educators, and early learning programs

Plus, new features provide
Recommendations for making family connections
Tips for health and safety actions that can be implemented quickly
A test bank of over 150 questions for instructors
A full and extensive list of references (available online)

This text references national standards and guidelines from organizations including the American Academy of Pediatrics (Caring for Our Children), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
