It is especially important to eat a variety of foods and to provide proper nutrition through the meals and snacks served in child care. Supervision It is imperative that caregivers supervise children at all times, not just for the safety of children but to ensure children get the attention they need for optimal growth and development. Children like to test their skills and abilities. Serious injuries can occur in indoor and outdoor play areas if constant supervision is not maintained. It only takes a second for something to go wrong. Older children need constant supervision as do their younger counterparts.
