Tips for Keeping Children Safe: A Developmental Guide

During the first five years, children constantly acquire new skills and knowledge. Caregivers who know what children can do and how they can get hurt can protect them from injury. This tool provides safety tips for early childhood staff working with young children in classroom environments, with tips organized by age (young infants, mobile infants, toddlers, and preschoolers). Each section includes a description of development and safety tips organized by daily routines like diapering and toileting, feeding, sleeping, and play.
