**Safe Sleep Resources Help Programs Build Safer Routines**

Safe sleep practices are an essential part of protecting infants in child care settings. Clear, ready-to-use resources can help programs train staff, communicate expectations to families, and maintain consistent routines across classrooms.

Show Me Child Care Resources gives directors and educators one place to find tools connected to health and safety, policy development, classroom supports, and family communication. These supports can help programs review current practices and strengthen written procedures.

*"I love that if I have an issue or I am needing advice for various things that arise, I can search the topic and find standard information to give both staff and parents in Show Me Child Care Resources.” — Owner/Director*
