LITTLE NIGHT OWLS SLEEP SOLUTIONS Madison Township , PA www . littlenightowls . com Member since 2016
Getting a good night ’ s sleep is vital for people of all ages but it is especially important for babies and children . Because their brains develop rapidly during the first few years of life , children need proper sleep or else the effects could be devastating . Tara D ’ Amico and Christine Mizenko created Little Night Owls Sleep Solutions in the hopes that they could teach infants or children proper sleep habits and achieve a better quality life for families .
Can you tell us about Little Night Owls Sleep Solutions ?
We are certified infant / child sleep consultants . We help families nurture their child ’ s sleep by creating a customized sleep plan , where we gather every detail of baby ’ s days , nights , temperament and eating habits . The plans include guidance on age-appropriate wake times , a coordinated feed and sleep schedule , and bedtime / naptime strategies to help baby learn self-soothing for independent sleep . We also offer specific follow up support via phone and email to answer questions , navigate any hurdles and motivate until all sleep goals are achieved . We are there to guide families through the innumerable “ what ifs ” in a way that a book cannot .
What inspired you to start your business ?
We were inspired to start our own business by way of our own children ’ s struggles and the understanding that sleep ( or lack thereof ) is such a common issue for parents of small children . We saw an important need for sleep education and support to go along with it .
What steps go into creating a plan to get children to sleep better through the night ?
The steps that go into a comprehensive plan to get your child to sleep through the night are a combination of sleep education , along with commitment and consistency . Your child ’ s age and personality , as well as your particular parenting style also play a role .
Who can participate in your program ?
Families of children of all ages can participate in our program . We primarily deal with children under the age of five and we ’ ve worked with children as old as eight .

How do you envision the Chamber helping your business in the future ?
Neither one of us knew about sleep education when we were expectant parents . We believe that letting other tired parents know that help is out there will help us reach more families .
