One who talks with the baby about what they do and see? A playful partner who introduces new ideas, objects and games. One who supports children in building relationships with other children and adults. (http://www.zerotothree.org) You also want to make sure that they respect your child’s individuality. One who understands and nurtures babies ' development...who recognizes the baby 's personal rhythms, style, strengths and limitations...and tunes into these when planning the pace and time for eating, sleeping and playing...one who is comfortable accommodating to children 's special needs or conditions. (http://www.zerotothree.org) Plus you want one that provides a stimulating and child-friendly environment for your child. An area that is clean and safe so babies can explore their surroundings...filled with interesting and stimulating things to explore...set up to promote learning through free play...changed regularly to accommodate the needs of growing infants and toddlers...organized to have distinct eating and diapering areas and set up to be comfortable and practical for adults, allowing them to focus on the children.
