CHCECE005 Project 1
You are applying for a job with a childhood education and care service. You have been asked to submit a
detailed application in which you outline your understanding of the way that babies and toddlers should be
cared for.
As part of the application you need to discuss (1,000–2,500 words):

o sleep routines and safe sleeping processes (why babies and toddlers need daytime sleep) managing
infection control
o accommodating the different needs (including cultural and lifestyle needs) of clients and their
children
o nappy changing and toileting experiences (address the need for routine plus hygiene requirements)
o nutrition and healthy eating habits (including mealtime routines and practices and when babies
should have bottles)
o creating a healthy, safe and supportive environment (that will not only keep babies and toddlers
safe but will contribute positively to their development)
o the need for educators to develop relationships and interact at the right level with babies and toddl
Remember not to include any information which will enable identification of the child or their family.
