This DVD, developed by WestEd’s Program for Infant/Toddler Care (PITC), focuses attention on the harmful effects of poor quality child care on infants and identifies critically important steps our society needs to take to improve infant care.

The DVD is designed to promote quality child care and is divided into four sections that describe the fundamental needs of infants and toddlers who are cared for outside the home: Close, Caring Relationships; Health and Safety; Connection to Family; and Knowledgeable, Responsive Caregivers. The DVD includes a booklet.
