Keys to Infant Caregiving E-Learning Course

In 1990, Dr. Kathryn Barnard and the team at NCAST Programs released the ground-breaking and award-winning Keys to Caregiving program. The program is used worldwide, giving health care professionals the knowledge to empower parents in caring for their infants.

In our new e-learning Keys to Infant Caregiving individual learner course there is all new video footage, quicker paced content, and a greater range of ethnic and racially diverse families. As a bonus, some of the most valuable archival footage is included for additional learning. The new educational series provides readily accessible content for both professionals and other care providers.

Keys teaches professionals about infants and their captivating ability to interact and engage in relationships with their parents and caregivers and how that impacts the care they receive. There are 5 classes in this course.

The first three classes provide foundational information about infant state, infant behavior, and how even newborn babies communicate their feelings and needs non-verbally. The last two classes consolidate this information and provide practical skills on waking a baby up and how to calm them down, and ways to enhance the developing parent-child relationship during feeding time.

The companion Study Guide offers deeper background information and contains structured areas to reflect upon and implement the new content in your practice

Keys is a research-based educational program for professionals that provides essential information on newborn and infant behavior.
