Navigating The World of Child Care


Although 60% of U.S. preschoolers are in child care, and many of these settings are highly regulated, environmental health is almost completely unaddressed through licensing, child care teacher training, and quality improvement programs. Those who seek to assist child care professionals in creating healthier environments will be more effective if they understand the institutions and frameworks of child care.

This presentation and discussion will provide an overview of the institutions, acronyms and challenges faced by child care providers, from an environmental health perspective. Participants will be invited to share their challenges and successes in dealing with this unique environment.
