SUMMARY:Children's Personal Rights
DESCRIPTION:This presentation focuses on the critical role of California’s Title 22 Regulations in safeguarding children’s personal rights within child care settings. The Title 22 Regulations are a cornerstone of children’s personal rights in California’s child care system.
