This needs another draft
 

  There is progress in these standards and additional drafts are needed to have a supportive frame work for safe and high quality early child care environments. The draft link below is a helpful next step. It's important to keep up this work because additional drafts will result in a better document.

  As an educator it's important to me that children are able to freely move their bodies. To know that the adults that are advocating for them see them as competent so they can grow up feeling self confident.
