Oregon Child Care Health & Safety Handbook

The Oregon Child Care Health & Safety Handbook was created as a training handbook and reference for child care providers regarding health considerations for children who are in care.  The Handbook is given to child care providers who participate in the Health & Safety Training offered through the local Child Care Resource and Referrals around the state.
