Consider the following regulations, structures, and practices for helping teachers, home visitors, and family child care providers individualize care for infants and toddlers in thoughtful, intentional, and effective ways:
- Small group size
- Low ratios of teachers and family child care providers to children and families
- Small caseloads of families for home visitors
- Primary caregiving
- Continuity of care
Think about which ways your program uses, how they are implemented and supported, and how they affect staff’s ability to individualize care.
