That Feeling Matters: Finding the Right Infant Care
Rhonda shares what to look for—and what to feel for—when choosing infant care that’s right for your family.
Choosing care for your infant is one of the most personal decisions you’ll make as a parent.
In this episode, Rhonda Meyers draws on 35 years in early childhood education—and her own experience as a new mom and now a grandmother—to walk through what families should look for when touring an infant program. From the feeling in the room to the details of health and safety practices, she shares what quality infant care looks like day to day.
[00:01:33] "That feeling, it matters."
Rhonda explains why infant care is all about trust, attachment and safety. She covers what to watch for in caregiver interactions, why individualized routines matter more than classroom schedules, and how strong communication between teachers and families builds the partnership every parent deserves.
She also gets honest about the hard parts such as illness, cost and the guilt that comes with leaving your baby in someone else’s care.
[00:33:44] "The goal is to walk away knowing my baby is seen, my baby is safe, my baby is nurtured and cared for the way I would care for them."
Whether you’re touring your first program or revisiting a decision that still doesn’t feel settled, this episode is a guide and a reassurance: trust what you feel.
