- Low infant ratios. CFYC maintains a maximum 2:1 infant-to-caregiver ratio throughout the day including during meal service and nap transitions.

Parents submit written feeding instructions at drop-off; staff initial each feeding in the daily log and flag any refusals or volume changes. Bottles are labeled and stored in individual designated cooler slots assigned at enrollment.
- Developmental milestone tracking. Caregivers document first rolls sitting balance and early vocalizations in the daily log. Families receive a CDC-aligned monthly milestone summary. If a caregiver notes a pattern of developmental concern they raise it directly with the family and recommend a conversation with the child pediatrician before the next scheduled well-baby visit.
