This newsletter theme issue looks at infant day care models including those emphasizing early intervention with special needs infants. The lead article, "Infants in Day Care: Reflections on Experiences, Expectations and Relationships," by Jeree H. Pawl, stresses the importance of understanding infants' and toddlers' capacities and needs in designing day care services. Three brief essays were adapted from a December, 1989 seminar and describe three distinct but related models for incorporating infant mental health insights and strategies into day care for young children.
