Myth:

My child will not be healthy if he goes into a childcare environment.



Fact:

The health and well-being of the child is the highest importance in a childcare setting. In a childcare environment, children are in small groups with a high caregiver-to-child ratio, nutritious snacks are provided, and children are physically active indoors and out but also have time to be quiet and rest. Children are protected from harm through safe, hazard-free environments with high sanitation standards and clearly defined emergency procedures.
