It’s officially summer!  Have you found the right summer camp for your child?

Baby Sleeps Safe President and child development expert Dr. Vicki Folds shares her thoughts on how to find the perfect summer camp to fit your child’s needs.

“There are so many fun summer camp opportunities that many parents feel overwhelmed by the possibilities,” says Dr. Vicki Folds, president of Baby Sleeps Safe and vice president of education and professional development for Children of America Educational Childcare. “Parents need to choose a summer camp that will help their children grow and thrive while supporting their individual interests.”

Dr. Folds recommends considering the following criteria:
