Keeping children safe and promoting their healthy development—physically and emotionally—is both a privilege and responsibility of every early childhood professional. In this course, educators' time is well spent learning principles of healthy nutrition; factors that support physical and mental health; developmentally appropriate strategies to promote physical activity; guidelines and procedures to ensure children's safety; and ways to promote wellness in children and families.
