Early childhood teachers and families share responsibility for the development and care of young children in many areas that once were in the domain of the home. Today, children acquire many personal life skills and habits related to exercise, nutrition, health, hygiene, and safety through their early childhood program. Yet these areas are also very personal to families, representing their own lifelong habits and practices. It is important, therefore, to share with families the school’s philosophy about helping children to develop healthy patterns that include daily exercise, good nutrition, appropriate care for the body, and safety precautions. It is equally important to be open to the families’ ideas and values on these topics.
