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.
