INFANT / TODDLER NEEDS AND SERVICES PLAN

This plan is completed at the time of enrollment and updated every 3 months until the child is two years of age. Parent/guardian and teacher will initial and date every change and update to the original plan.

EATING

SOLID FOODS

At Just 4 Kids Preschool,  we practice the following sequence for the introduction of solid foods, as recommended by the state:

• Formula/breast milk (1-12 months);
• Infant cereal (4-6 months);
• Vegetables, fruits and their juices (5-7 months);
• Protein foods (6-9 months)
• Whole milk is offered to children 12 months and up

Note: If your child does have a food allergy or suspected allergy, you will also be expected to fill out our Allergy Healthcare Plan, prior to enrollment.

Just 4 Kids Preschool posts monthly menus, reflecting food served each day, and are available to parents/guardians at any time. No exceptions to the menu or changes to the food provided will be made unless requested and prescribed, in writing, by the child’s parent or guardian. Infant families are to provide pre labeled bottles and food for their children.

SLEEPING / NAPPING

It is Just 4 Kids Preschool policy that infants under 12 months are placed to sleep on their backs (to reduce the risk of SIDS). Also, to reduce the risk of SIDS, infants are not allowed to have blankets in the crib. Instead, they can use a sleep sack.  Please ask your teacher for more information if needed.

TOILETING / DIAPERING

Most children are not ready to begin toilet training until 2 years of age. Generally, we will not begin to toilet train a child before 2 years unless requested by the parent/guardian and after consideration of the child’s developmental readiness.
