A very important factor, however, is <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">child safety at preschool<\/mark><\/strong>. In fact, schools are not just places of learning, they also carry a legal responsibility to protect children from harm.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India has clear legal protections to ensure children are safe in schools, and every parent should be aware of them. This article simplifies key child safety laws so parents can understand them and also use them as a practical guide when evaluating preschools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"
