I believe that infants and toddlers need care that is as individualized as they are.
This kind of care includes communication at their level,
structured around their learning abilities and provides individual time each day.
Infant and toddler caregivers should get down to the child's level to communicate.
Caregivers should schedule activities that will promote the program goals.
Caregivers should provide themselves time to spend one on one time with each child.


The environment should be safe and cheerful.
Caregivers need to balance quiet and active time.
They also need to make sure there is proper space and equipment for the children.
As an infant and toddler caregiver,
I will do my best to provide a safe, loving environment
individualized to fit the needs of the child.


Infants and toddlers deserve to search their
world freely and safely, with the love and support from their caregiver.
My goals for infants and toddlers are for them
to experience their surroundings at their own pace.
I will provide them with the opportunities to experience safely.


The role of the family in the infant and toddler program is
to support activities and learning at their child's pace.
To promote individualization, self esteem, self-control, and independence.


I include a diverse, anti bias or multi cultural
approach with infants and toddlers by showing them
the differences in the world in many different ways.
I have books, finger plays, dolls,
tapes, instruments, posters and many other items
to give them a variety of culture.


I believe children are happy if they are able to
experience their world with little help from others.
They enjoy creating, imagining and playing
many different things through out the day.
I feel good about the care I provide to the infants and toddlers in my program
when they are happy and develop a sense of self-identity,
individiaulization, self-esteem, self-control and independence.
I enjoy watching them experience something for the first time.
