  • Provide Nurturing Care: Help with feeding, diapering, dressing, and supporting the daily routines of infants with attentiveness and care.
  • Promote a Calm, Responsive Environment: Use gentle redirection and modeling to guide behavior. Support circle time, small group explorations, and transitions throughout the day.
