Acknowledgements
The National
Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care and Early Education would like to acknowledge the outstanding contributions of all persons and organizations involved in the development of Healthy
Kids, Healthy Care: Parents as Partners in Promoting Healthy and Safe Child Care. The Healthy
Kids, Healthy Care Task Force provided exceptional leadership and guidance in shaping the development and content of resource. Over 60 parents were asked to review and validate the user friendliness and relevancy of the content to the needs of parents. We thank them for their candor, insights and enthusiasm for the product. Health and safety experts from the Caring
for Our Children Technical Panel Chairs representing the American
Academy of Pediatrics, the American Public
Health Association, and the Maternal
and Child Health Bureau provided up-to-date technical expertise in review of content. This broad review has led to a more comprehensive and useful tool. Because of the extensive review, we would like to acknowledge those individuals whose names may have been omitted.
This publication would not have been possible without the generous funding of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau (Cooperative Agreement: U93 MC00098)
We would also like to thank all the individuals and organizations who gave their expertise and countless hours of dedication to the original development of Caring
for Our Children: National Health and Safety Performance Standards: guidelines
for Out-of-Home Child Care Programs,
2nd Ed. (2002) from which this material was based. Please see http://nrckids.org/CFOC/HTMLVersion/acknowledgements.html for a list of those individuals.
