Safe, quiet, comfortable spaces for resting and napping are crucial for infants and toddlers.
Use curtains over windows or add a dimmer switch to reduce the light in the nap room. Make sure there is enough light for you to see all of the children.
Use a comfortable glider chair to hold and rock infants before laying them down to sleep.
If children nap in a separate room, make sure one adult remains in the nap room at all times.
Provide a crib or cot, with the their name on it, for each child.
Sanitize the cribs and cots at least weekly.
Place cribs at least 36 inches apart unless they are separated by solid barriers.
Wash crib sheets at least weekly and replace them immediately if they are soiled.
Do not use pillows, bumper pads, or other materials that could smother sleeping infants.
