A lot of useful resources and theory. However, it is designed for American teachers and also weighs heavily on political correctness. Nevertheless, I recommend this to any Kindergarten teacher.

I read this in class, the 11th edition. This book is very insightful and well laid out. Some chapters are structured to be rule/regulation oriented(America). Many topics are covered in a thorough yet simple manner with the child's health & development in mind. Nice book, good introduction to these topics!

A good quick book on health and wellness in the early childhood setting. Short, sweet, and to the point.

Well, it was for a class. Informative. Well presented. Nice use of graphics. The pages of the version I have are thin and seem fragile.

A lot of valuable information not just in applicability towards children but for overall health practices and specifically nutrition as a whole.

Highly detailed; general information works internationally but much of the procedural/policy/rationale material is much more relevant to the US than the Australian system; not suitable as a sole textbook over here, in my view, if only because the duty of care themes expressed are consistently linked to legal liability rather than teacher responsibility as a main motivator. Not as optimally concerned with high-quality-care for the sake of high-quality care as one would hope in a textbook of this type.

If assigned this for a course, for God's sake even it out with up-to-date local materials which take account of the Australian educational framework (historical and current).

That said: a mine of generally useful stats, facts, figures and concepts. Probably worth keeping.

A great tool for anyone working in the childcare field or parents of young children. Lot's of info about nutrition and communicable diseases. Learn some of the regulations for a healthy childcare center, or how a center should be run for the safety of your child.

I was required to purchase this book for the course "Health and Nutrition". I used it for my discussions, quizzes, midterm, projects and observations. It is an excellent book that I might just keep instead of return it.

Read for my Health Safety and Nutrition for the Young Child class. Useful information that hopefully I will be able to retain later after my schooling is done.
