How can you determine if your program has a written health policy?

The most effective way to determine if your program has a written health policy is to ask your VPK program director. The program director is typically responsible for overseeing the operational aspects of the program, including policies and procedures. By directly inquiring with them, you can obtain accurate information regarding the existence and specifics of the health policy, including how it is implemented and enforced within the program.

The other methods, such as checking the program's website or requesting a copy from parents, may not provide reliable information. Websites may not always be updated or comprehensive in detail, and parents may not have the most current or complete information about internal policies. Observing interactions during free play does not directly address the question of whether a written health policy exists, as it focuses more on the social interactions of children rather than the program's documentation or policies.
