Educating child care providers in child health. 1992

K Peterson-Sweeney, and J Stevens

As demand increases for quality child care, less-than-adequate care has been provided to children due to, among other reasons, the lack of a national child care policy. The Childhealth Education Program (CEP) addresses the needs of child care providers in upstate New York using the services of nurse practitioners, who are well prepared to provide child education.
