Caring for Our Children is the most comprehensive source of information available on the development and evaluation of the health and safety aspects of day care and child care centers. The guidelines address the health and safety needs of children ranging from infants to 12-year-olds. This field-reviewed book provides performance requirements for child care providers and parents, as well as for regulatory agencies seeking national guidelines to upgrade state and local child care licensing. The second edition is extensively revised based on the consensus of ten technical panels each focused on a particular subject. The book includes eight chapters of 658 standards and a ninth chapter of 48 recommendations for licensing and community agencies and organizations.
