The educator has a large plastic, collapsible play pen for the infant to nap. The educator was under the impression that this was an appropriate napping material for the infant but due to not meeting safe sleep requirements, the large playpen is not appropriate for napping the infant. Please add either a mesh playpen or crib to the program for the infant to nap. The educator has a mat for the older child to nap on.
