    In the Little Sunshine Child Care Center, Miss Emily made a surprising
    discovery: one of the children had head lice, which worried the staff.
    They were determined to handle it quickly and take immediate action.
    What are four steps you can suggest for Little Sunshine Child Care
    Center to ensure the safety and well-being of all the children in their
    care ?

    Need to communicate the situation to the child’s parents or guardians promptly.

    Perform head lice screenings on all children in the center.

    Implement treatment within the child care center.

    Educate staff, parents, and children
