Report Card

Create a daily report form and you can give to babies’ parents. Include times the baby slept, foods and amounts eaten, diaper changes, activities, and comments. Make enough photocopies of the form for all babies in your care so parents feel they are participating in their child’s day-to-day activities.
Table knives are too big and heavy for most children. Instead, give them butter knives or cheese spreaders when they are learning to applying their own butter, mayonnaise, or other spreadable. (Ask friends and family to save extra cheese knives from holiday food trays.)
