Answer to Question 1

Anticipation uses checklists for indoor inspection and an overall outdoor inspection for safety. These checklists apply to the type of early childhood education setting, the ages of the children present, the surrounding community, and the family environments of the children represent. The use of checklists for modifying the environment can help teachers to carefully screen for hazards, removing the hazards, and placing safety devices. Checklists can be used to monitor the environment to evaluate changes and check for hazards.

Answer to Question 2

A child from a home where safety is not a priority may be used to being in an unsafe situation and may not realize that there are hazards that pose risk. This type of child may have to be taught about what safety is and how one tries to ensure that it is available to the child. The teacher may have to help the child to be safe wherever he or she is.
