Infants and toddlers continue to change constantly and demonstrate new interests and abilities. Once they can freely explore their world, we help keep them safe inside the home and outside as well. Preparation and active supervision is a way to stay engaged, pay attention, and help infants and toddlers practice their new skills safely. Keeping each person in the family safe will help keep everyone safe.
