Support for infant teachers
Special challenges confront infant teachers and caregivers who work with babies and support their families in this stressful period. In 2005, the Fussy Baby Network launched a two-year project called Partners in Care to extend support to these professionals. Funded by the Prince Charitable Trusts, the project culminated in the 2008 publication of a booklet to support infant child care teachers and infant program directors in their special role.
