Great book for care providers

This book is well written, easy to read, and full of practical ideas for making your program ideal for ALL infants and toddlers. The author captures the feelings that infants and toddlers evoke in their caregivers, both good and bad, and explains so well how to provide the best individualized care for babies. I highly recommend this as a textbook for a class, a resource for teachers or an addition to any baby lovers personal library.

Included in these comparisons are program requirements to meet the needs in these stages and the role of the responsive teacher during these stages.Topics included in this book are the role of the parent, responsive teaching, daily living activities, and infant/toddler care management and administration.
