Children who receive regular check-ups and are taught to embrace preventive care have an improved chance of becoming healthy adults with medical needs less expensive than what they would be otherwise. For example, an obese child may receive family-centered nutritional counseling to assist in learning better eating habits and other lifestyle changes to reduce his or her weight, potentially preventing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Children, especially those in groups, are more likely to get infectious diseases than are adults. As a childcare provider, you will be exposed to infectious diseases more frequently than will someone who has less contact with children.
