The Philosophical Foundations of Caring for Infants and Toddlers in Groups is an introduction to the special issues of caring for infants in groups. This type of care is different from the care of one infant, e.g., in a typical family or nanny situation, and from the group care of older children. Infants in professional care thrive when they have assigned to them one or a very few consistent, caring adults providing security, individualized attention, responsiveness, familiarity, and protection in the context of a peaceful environment. Participants view the video Together in Care: Meeting the Intimacy Needs of Infants and Toddlers in Groups, which discusses the program policies that support these requirements: primary care, small groups, and continuity of care.
