Programs: Child Care Health Consultants
Child Care Health Consultants will provide health and safety consultation, on site education for childcare providers, and immunization record compliance oversight. Technical assistance will be offered to all childcare facilities; however, facilities will be prioritized for service based on criteria that may include; 1-3 star rating, infant-toddler enrollment, and history of health, safety, sanitation issues. On-site educational consultation with parents and childcare providers will be available to address the issues of children with special health, developmental, contagious disease and/or chronic medical needs. This activity may also provide vision and hearing screenings as well as consultation and training to childcare providers and families on physical and nutrition strategies. On a limited basis, as per childcare providers' concerns, Ages and Stages developmental pre-screenings tools will be distributed to childcare facilities, results reviewed, and consultation and referrals provided. Services will be provided on-site at childcare facilities during normal business hours and as needed to meet the needs of childcare providers and to collaborate with medical homes.
