Description

Sleep and sleep practices are fundamental to children’s wellbeing, growth and development. Sleep is especially important for infants and toddlers, and it is an essential part of early childhood education and care programs. Understanding the importance of sleep in infant development and learning and safe sleep practices is a key responsibility of early childhood educators.

Day or night, children’s sleeping behaviours, like their behaviours during awake times, communicate their needs, and their adults must listen and respond to them whether they’re asleep or awake. Peaceful sleep and successful transition into and out of sleep nourish health, development and learning. Educators play a crucial role in communicating and working with infants’ and toddlers’ primary caregivers to ensure their safety and wellbeing.

This Everyday Learning Series title explores:

  • safe sleep practices
  • sleep and culture
  • tummy time
  • settling babies
  • sleep cues, comforters, associations and rituals
  • sleep challenges.
