Overview of Health and Safety in Child Care
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) has a long history of supporting health and safety in early care and education settings, and published the resource manual "Health and Safety in Child Care" (1995, now out of print). This webpage hopes to serve a similar function to that manual, providing a common source for updated web links and other information on a wide variety of health and safety related topics. -
