Early childhood providers are expected to be knowledgeable and skilled in various aspects related to early childhood education and development. They are expected to have expertise in areas such as early learning, child development, curriculum planning, and creating safe and nurturing environments for children. While they are not necessarily expected to be experts on health, they should be aware of basic health and safety practices, including first aid and emergency response, promoting good hygiene, and recognizing signs of illness or developmental concerns in children. It is important for early childhood providers to collaborate with healthcare professionals and involve parents or guardians in addressing any specific health concerns or needs that may arise while caring for young children.
