What a great policy! i dont know where you would find research on it - but i do know that 'hard sole' shoes are not recomended for under 2's as their bones are still soft enough for a bad fitting shoe to do dammage. At our centre staff must wear shoes at all times, unless involved in sand/water play - we only enforce the children wearing shoes in cold weather and on excurisons. It is centre policy (and put into practice) that the floor is mopped twice a day and all out door play areas have a safty checklist that is done everyday. Name: Email: Subject
