Health policies are guidelines that support you in maintaining a climate of wellness by promoting healthy behaviors and preventing the spread of disease.  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. 

All licensed child care programs must have written health policies and procedures that are:
  • Written in a manner that is clear and easy to understand.
  • Shared with all new staff during orientation.
  • Posted for staff and families to review.
  • Reviewed, signed and dated by a physician, physician's assistant or registered nurse when you change your policies and procedures or type of care provided.

You have read about health policies and procedures in your Guides (page 123-125 in the Child Care Licensing Guidebook. 
Do you know what these are and where you can find instructions on how to do them?
  • Provide general cleaning of areas
  • Clean and sanitize equipment
  • Prevent, manage and report communicable diseases
  • Handle minor injuries such as scrapes
  • Provide first aid
