Support for Infants & Toddlers in Child Care...
CLASP’s Charting Progress for Babies in Child Care project is a multi-year effort to highlight state policies that support the healthy growth and development of infants and toddlers in child care settings, and to build an online resource to help states implement these policies. In the first year of this project, CLASP worked with ZERO TO THREE to develop a Policy Framework, drawing on the input of over one hundred experts around the country. The Framework sets forth four key principles that establish the foundation of supports that all babies and toddlers in child care need, as well as 15 recommendations that state child care licensing, quality, and subsidy policies should address.
The Policy Framework Summary is now available online. Take a look, these are good recommendations on what is appropriate care for infants.
On a lighter note about infant care... Okay, this isn't a resource you will need to keep... but some of these did cause a chuckle. Taking Care of Babies.
