Infants and toddlers have spedific nutritional and developmental needs as they transition from breastmilk or formula to solid foods. Children will always be seated and closely monitored while eating.

Choking Prevention: Foods that a choking hazard will never be offered whole to children under two.Children under one year old will always be placed to sleep following safe sleep procedures. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS): I've also received Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) prevention training and will distribute SIDS prevention materials to infants' families.In addition to many years of experience soothing crying babies and upset children while remaining calm, I have resources to turn to if needed. Abusive Head Trauma (AHT): I have been trained on the prevention of Abusive Head Trauma (formerly Shaken Baby Syndrome) and will never shake or roughly handle any baby or child in my care.Rest assured that your child is safe in my care. Infants and toddlers are just learning about the world and are especially vulnerable so special care must be taken to keep them safe. Since outdoor time just as important for infants and toddlers as it is for older children, the little ones will join the group outside as often as possible. Children of all ages receive individual attention, cuddling, and time to explore a wide variety of toys and materials. Mobile infants and toddlers practice crawling, cruising, walking, and other motor skills. Pre-mobile infants have "tummy time" and experience varying body positions throughout the day. Over time, young children's routines naturally adjust to merge with the older children's routine. Each infant will be fed when he/she is hungry and placed down for a nap when he/she is tired. Infants' daily routines are based on their individual needs. Support and encouragement for parents and families. ![]()
