We B Kidz understands that effective sleep and rest routines are essential in ensuring the development, growth, social and emotional well-being of each child in our care. Our sleep and rest practices are based upon the research, findings and recommendations of the Joint Statement on Safe Sleep: Preventing Sudden Infant Deaths in Canada. We will ensure that all children have appropriate opportunities to sleep rest and relax in accordance with their individual needs. In order to provide the most comfortable and safest sleep routine for children, We B Kidz has added the sleep section in the enrollment package. Parents indicate in the Enrollment Package how children are to be placed on their cot (ie. back, stomach, or side) and what they are to use during nap which are provided by parents (ie. blanket, stuffed toy, pillow, or soother). and if the nap is to be reduced or no nap required. Parents will be consulted respecting a child’s sleeping arrangements at the time of enrollment, upon transition to another classroom or upon a parent’s request.

• All children in Toddler and Preschool rooms will be placed in individual cots for sleep in accordance with any written instructions from the child’s parent.
• Each child in care will have a cot labelled with their name with a cot sheet. This label is to be applied to the actual cots in a manner that allows staff and parents to be made aware of whom each crib belongs to. No child is to be put on a cot without a clean bedsheet.
• Sleep time will not exceed two (2) hours in our Toddler, Preschool rooms.
• We B Kidz cares about the individual needs of children; Therefore, sleeping is not mandatory at our center. Children who do not sleep will be given a quiet activity.
