Explored practices
around transitioning infants/toddlers to new classes. Responses
to mail survey indicated that relatively few programs provided caregiver
continuity. Most programs considered attainment of developmental
milestones, age, and available space when making transition decisions
for infants/toddlers. Most centers used a few practices to prepare
infants/toddlers for the move. More respondents agreed with using
caregiver continuity than practiced it. (Author/KB)
