Blog 16: 2-Hour Meeting Answer #2

1.  What is your essential question?

How can a child care provider create an emotionally and physically healthy child care environment?

2.  What is your second answer to your essential question?

My second answer would be that the child care provider would have to meet all the safety regulations set by the state.

3.  What are three details to support or justify your second answer?

• Children have been injured in daycares before due to lack of safety regulations.
• Many safety regulations are to have certain exits and emergency escape plans, much like a normal school.
• There are a few articles floating about in the internet that show that some parents don't think their child is safe enough at a daycare.

4.  What source helped you prove this answer is justified for your essential question?

Source 46, because it was an article on how a baby was probably permanently injured due to lack of safety regulations held by the daycare the child was in.

5.  What do you plan to study next with your second answer and why?

I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by doing a lot more research on safety issues within daycares, because I currently do not have much research on that. I would also have to research more about what kind of safety regulations are currently in place and if they could be improved upon based on parents' feedback/complaints that can be found in news articles so that I can have more solid information about my second answer.
