Are you planning to present on health and safety in early education and child care? Why start from scratch?

To better equip health care professionals, including child care health consultants, with the resources to educate colleagues and early education and child care professionals, we have developed PowerPoint presentations on different topics that can be customized to meet participants' needs. Additional information is provided for the speaker in the "Notes" area of each presentation.

	The Medical Home (5.41 MB) Educate others on what a medical home is, and how child care programs, child care health consultants, pediatricians, and states can support this concept.
	Child Care Health Consultation (3.82 MB) Updated 2012 These slides explain what a child care health consultant is and the benefits to using one in a child care program. Also included are slides on how pediatricians can work with, advocate for, and become a child care health consultant.
	American Academy of Pediatrics & Healthy Child Care America (3.13 MB) Updated 2012 An overview of the Healthy Child Care America program is provided, along with key AAP resources. Feel free to take slides from this presentation to complement your existing presentations.
