Review health and safety practices to promote a safe environment in child care centers, including standard precautions, medication administration, food safety, allergy response, risk reduction, and mandated reporting. Identify strategies informed by best practices and Minnesota’s Rule 3 licensing standards to apply your center’s specific health and safety policies. (This course is designed for current child care center staff. Note that this training does not fulfill the specific training requirements of individual centers/programs – in accordance with the federal Child Care Development Fund (CCDF), Minnesota law requires childcare center policy development on CCDF topics and training before staff begin duties.)
