are guidelines for child care providers, parents of children in child care,
health professionals serving child care, and state officials responsible for
watching over health and safety in child care.  NRCHSCC supervised the
update of the new edition which was co-developed and revised by experts from
AAP and APHA to include standards based on new knowledge such as infant
sleep position, infectious diseases, chronic illness, and nutrition
requirements.  Rationale accompanies each standard and explains why the
guideline is important to protect a child from harm.  Suggested  forms,
policies, and recommended procedures appear in the appendices.
