Safe and Healthy Children's Environments, Second Edition, aims to provide a valuable resource to caregivers of children to easily understand, access, and use information in meaningful ways to support the healthy development of all children. This text presents issues in health, safety, and nutrition in a way that keeps the child at the heart of each chapter. Working as both a learning and reference tool, this text is written to facilitate research while using clear and concise language.

Hallmark features of this title

  • Stories of Practice: At the beginning of each chapter, early learning teachers share their perspective on the topical issue the chapter will address. These messages help set the stage for you to become familiar with how theory has informed practice, how new learning is essential in the profession, and how the combination of theory and practice guides early learning teachers in their daily work with children and families.
  • Stop . . . Think . . . Discuss . . . Reflect Boxes: These boxes provide probing questions that are intended for you and members of your learning community to explore and to trigger ideas, passion, and research interests beyond the content presented in the chapter.
  • Making Connections-Theory to Practice: Each chapter provides scenarios based on the content of the chapter. This section is intended to help the reader make the connection between theory and practice.

New and updated features of this title

  • The content reflects current research and practices. Risky and rough-and-tumble play, pedagogical documentation, sustainability, and outdoor play have been enhanced to reflect their importance to the early learning environments. This is particularly important as children’s access to and opportunities for play and learning are being highlighted internationally as a right and need for children.
