Health policies assure that that everyone in the center is safe and clean. I think the policies are really clear.

Why do we need to have Health Policies in Early Learning Programs? To prepare for possible/future health issues that pop up, and to insure the environment is safe. If we are prepared to respond appropriately we are more likely to do so.

We have Health Policies in Early Learning Programs, because they keep children and staff safe from the spread of disease and infection. Without Health Policies, Programs would be unsafe for children. There would be no protocol for what to do when someone was injured or their life at risk, food wouldn’t be kept at the correct temperatures, proper sanitation before and after meals and diaper changing wouldn’t happen, and children would be allowed to engage in dangerous activities.

My center continuously keeps us up-to-date about Health Policies. All of the policies and procedures are clear to me.

Health policies are in place to keep children and the staff healthy and safe. The guidelines are there so that everyone is on the same page and all steps to cleaning and sanitizing properly are being taken. I am fairly clear on most policies and procedures

Health policies ensure the whole center can remain healthy and clean. Having policies will set the guidelines ahead of time so everyone knows when to exclude someone who is sick.
I don't think I have any difficulties with any health policy

Health policies are important so that staff and parents know what is expected of the facility to keep the children safe and healthy.

None of them are unclear to me. It is important to have health policies and procedures for the protection of the children and of the staff. It is important to put best efforts toward keeping everyone safe and healthy. Should an incident occur, it is important that there is a policy in place to follow. S

We need health policies in early learning to protect the safety and wellness of all children and staff members and their families. Preventing the spread of germs is a crucial health policy in all learning centers. No policies are unclear to me.

These policies ensure everyone in the school can be healthy. It tells anyone the information to know how to proceed if someone does get sick to help keep everyone else healthy.

Safety Polices and Health procedures are key to any location with large amount of people. Especially children, since they are so vulnerable. Children often fall down, bumps, scrapes and bruises. Its our responsibility to take all precautions with children that are in our care.

I am clear on the health and safety procedures.

The policies ensure that safe and appropriate health practices are in place. They also help to guide decision making about how to manage confusing or difficult situations.

As childcare providers we need health and safety policies to keep students safe at all times. Written policies help both teachers and parents, because parents know and understand that their children will be safe in the event of a health or safety incident and teachers know exactly what to do in any given incident. A few things I am unclear on in terms of health and safety are what to do in emergency circumstances such as if there is someone unauthorized that appears sketchy on or near the premises or if there are disasters like earthquakes or power outages.

Health policies ensure that the staff in a childcare center is prepared for any sort of outbreak, infection, or medical emergency. Health policies also help us, as adults, practice and teach children good hygiene and safety.
I do not have any concerns about the health policies at my care center.

We need to have Health Policies in Early Learning Programs to keep the children safe and as healthy as possible and I believe I have a pretty good grasp on the policies and program procedures for keeping children safe.

Why do we need to have Health Policies in Early Learning Programs? Because protecting children's health is more than a focus on the prevention of disease or illness. Health also needs to be promoted through attention to the whole child and the child's physical, oral, mental, and social health. A high quality child care center begins with a healthy environment and written policies and practices to maintain them.

Which policies or program procedures for keeping children safe are unclear to you? Knowing when it is okay for you to reject a child from coming to your care center when they are sick. I understand that a child with the common cold can not be turned away, but how do you know for sure that the child only has the common cold? Are you allowed as a caregiver to require a signed document from a doctor that the child only has the common cold? or do you have to take the parents word on it?

Having a health policy is important because it allows you to make consistent practices of cleanliness, food safety, chemical safety and generally keeping a safe environment. Having emergency guidelines and concent forms prepare you in the event of an emergency. I am clear on health policy.

Health policies are important for not only childcare, but all industries, as they are literally designed to keep everyone safe, healthy, and alive.
No issues understanding any policies here. :)

The policies are extremely clear. They are there to ensure that everyone in the center is safe clean and cared for at all times. And that injuries are taken care of with the correct procedures.

Its important to have health policies because it helps keep the children safe, protected, healthy, and alive; in case of any emergencies or accidents.

So far all the policies make perfect sense to me.

Health policies are in place to keep diseases and germs from spreading. Keeping children healthy and safe is the most important thing that parents expect of providers. Having written policies on safety and health are essential for staff to know. There are not any policies that I can think of that are unclear to me.

Health Policies are in place so there is a plan when medical emergencies arise. The policies make sure that everyone knows the same information and procedures to follow.
I don't feel like any policies are unclear. I've never had an experience where I thought a child was abused or neglected, that situation would be harder to deal with (and I hope I never have to!).

It is very important to have health policies, so that both staff and family members know what happens in a given situation. It is very important that staff know what they are supposed to do in situations regarding the health of the children, so that the children are receiving the best care possible and are treated speedily without the obstacle of confusion, which could delay urgent care.

One policy I find unclear is when children should stay home due to illness or when they should leave due to illness. Does a very runny nose pose a reason to stay home? Or a powerful cough? It is hard to tell, but every case is different.
