Infant and Toddler
Parent Handbook
Dear Families,
Welcome to the Infant and Toddler classrooms at NIU Campus Child Care
Center. We are excited about working together and forming a relationship with
you and your child. The infant and toddler years are very exciting with a lot of
developmental changes and issues that are specific to this age. It is expected
that prior to children starting in the Infant or Toddler room (or within the first
week of school) parents meet with the Assistant Director to review the
Handbook and ask any questions.
This Handbook is a supplement to your Parent Handbook. The Parent Handbook
answers your questions about general policies like enrollment, drop-off and pickup policies, and billing. This Infant and Toddler Handbook is specific to your
child and the practices and guidelines relating to these classrooms. Please take
the time to read through this information. If you have any questions, please
feel free to ask at any time.
