Davie -Leading the Way Implementing High Quality Infant Toddler Care

No matter what our role is in childcare, we share a common goal: to provide quality
group care for infants and toddlers. But what does that look like? In this training, we will
discuss evidence-based practices and policies that support the high-quality infant
toddler care we strive to provide. As we discuss quality infant- toddler care practices and
how different programs approach implementing these practices, we will reveal the
benefits for children and their caregivers. We will look at six essential program policies
that support relationship- based strategies in childcare and examine your beliefs and
philosophy as they relate to evidence-based quality group care.
