In a structured child care program for the infants and toddlers of teen mothers

In a structured child care program for the infants and toddlers of teen mothers the very youngest infants are in one small room with a caregiver. At four months the infants are moved to the next room with a new caregiver. At eight months they are moved again and so on until age three. An observer noted On the day I visited the center the caregiver of the youngest infants was standing in the doorway of her room watching the caregiver in the next room try to comfort a tiny crying infant. The first caregiver looked upset. I asked her what was wrong and she said That baby was with me for the past three months; I really love him.’
