ECED 112 — Health, Nutrition, and Safety Needs of the Young Child
The dynamics of health, safety, and nutrition as they relate to the child’s development and environment is explored. The student identifies problems that may occur in an early childhood setting: poor nutrition, safety dangers, or child abuse. Advocacy for young children is encouraged. As advocates, students develop methods of assessment, reporting, and referral. The student is introduced to first-aid techniques by the completion of the course.
