Childhood is a unique period of life when physical, intellectual, emotional, and social growth all occur simultaneously and interactively. Children’s bodies and minds are constantly learning how to meet challenges in their environment. Research shows that development of the brain (intellectual, cognitive, social-emotional) and children’s physical, nutritional, and oral health depend on the quality of early experiences. Children need protection from injury and infection, both of which can lead to discomfort, disability, or death. They also need activities that promote healthy growth and development. Many practices in group care enable learning, promote the development of strong bodies that resist disease, foster brain growth, and support desired behavior simultaneously.
