Dear Parent,

Infant Program

> > > Communication

Your baby changes every day. That's why we want you to be involved with daily updates on your baby's daily activities, developmental changes and milestones. We have a comprehensive communication system to support our partnership with you.

Daily Reports: We will provide you with a daily report of your infants daily feedings, activities and diaper changes. These records will help you to better understand your child and encourage communication between the parent and the teachers when problems need to be solved. For example, if your child isn’t sleeping well at night, it could be because they are taking too late of a nap. Naps are often easy to slowly adjust for children in our care.

Progress Reports: Every month in a baby's life is full of changes: what they are eating, how mobile they are, how they recogonize people around them, etc. As new stages are reached we document and observe your baby's growth so you stay informed. We use a "Baby Steps" monthly tracking system that helps us to note those important changes. Most major growth steps don't occur in the daycare, though. Your baby is most comfortable with you and will undoubtably make most of those changes with you.

Your findings are extremely important to for these reports to accurately reflect your baby's progress. We encourage parents to communicate with us if they are seeing changes in their baby. Their first bite of solid food, first steps, first words. As new stages are reached we encourage parents to email us the news.
We document and observe your baby's growth so you stay informed and incorporate your findings into our summaries.

> > > Using Email to Communicate

Email is also useful for communicating other delicate subjects. This may include changes in the infants behaviors, schedule changes, billing questions, etc.

 

Don't miss out! Your child deserves the one-on-one attention that only a certified in- home childcare center can provide.

Sincerely,

Tessa Gripp
