If you work with infants, your schedule will be flexible, but you will still want to establish some predictability.Meet the individual needs of each child by ensuring enough time for:
- Greetings and arrivals
- Feedings, diapering, and naps
- Indoor and outdoor play times
- Departures, including sharing information and anecdotes with parents
Caregiving routines, such as diapering and feedings make up much of the infant's day. It is important for caregivers to use these opportunities to get to know and interact with each child, not just rush through the job to get it done. When caregivers smile and talk with infants during these routine times, they build trust and developmental skills.
