Dear Parent/Guardian,
We hope this letter finds you well. At Hilltop School we prioritize the safety and well-being of your child. We would like to inform you about our sleeping arrangements and seek your permission for your child to sleep on mats.
According to the regulations set forth by the Early Education and Care (EEC), infants (children from birth to 15 months old) are required to be placed in individual cribs, portable cribs, playpens, or bassinets for napping. As a general rule, children may be transitioned to a mat or other approved sleep surface for napping at 15 months old. However, under certain circumstances, infants aged 12 months or older may be transitioned to a mat or cot for rest.
At Hilltop, we typically use mats for children ages 12 months and older. However, we require explicit permission from parents if the child is younger than 15 months. Your child's safety and comfort are of utmost importance to us, and we want to ensure that our practices align with your preferences.
