Research and reflect on what are important elements for written policies in early childhood settings.
- Find out if your program has policies regarding child abuse and neglect and, if so, what they are.
- Considering state laws (which you researched in class) and the needs of children, educators, and the program, write a thoughtful proposal about:
• How you would improve or add to your program’s policies
• Or what policies you would develop - Explain the reasoning behind your proposal, which should be at least one page, 12 pt., double-spaced.
- Keep in mind the many complex issues discussed in class regarding support for educators and privacy issues for family and children, as well as mandatory reporting requirements.
