Infant Safe Sleep Policy

At Happy Day Childcare & Preschool, your baby’s safety is our top priority.

 

 We strictly follow the Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families (DCYF) Infant Safe Sleep regulations as outlined in WAC 110-300-0296.


 What Families Can Expect:

We maintain a safe and nurturing sleep environment for all infants in our care, including:

  • Back to Sleep: Infants are always placed on their backs for every sleep and nap time unless a signed physician’s statement indicates otherwise.
     
  • Crib Safety: Each infant has their own approved crib or play yard with a firm mattress and a tightly fitted sheet.
     
  • No Soft Items: Cribs are kept free of pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, bumper pads, and toys while the infant is sleeping.
     
  • Supervised Naps: Infants are actively monitored during all rest times, and staff are trained in safe sleep practices.
     
  • Sleep Environment: Our nap spaces are kept at a comfortable temperature with no loose bedding or items that could pose a suffocation risk.
     
  • Swaddling: We do not swaddle infants unless written consent and instruction are provided by the child’s health care provider.
     

💤 Our Commitment:

All staff members who care for infants are trained in:

  • Safe Sleep Practices
     
  • CPR and First Aid
     
  • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Prevention
     

We believe in partnering with families to support healthy sleep habits and are always happy to answer any questions or accommodate your child’s individual sleep needs within DCYF guidelines.
