Answer to Question 1

Guidelines, standards, and laws offer the child teacher the parameters needed to operate in the best possible manner. They help to ensure safety, good health, and proper nutrition. These measures take much of the pressure off of teachers when they ask the families to conform to certain policies or procedures. For example, the teachers need to have a complete health history and a series of immunizations in order for the child to enter care. This offers protection to staff and other children as well as reducing risk to that child.

Answer to Question 2

The popular cultural image is that children are all well fed, healthy, and happy. The reality is that many children (one in four) live below the poverty level and there has been an increase in violence, poverty, and physical illness in recent years. Also, most children are in early childhood education environments and may be at risk for poor nutrition and safety and well-being if the early childhood education environment is not of good quality. A child teacher should understand some of the challenges and needs of young children in order to provide the most beneficial environment.
