infant room
6 weeks to 18 months
We provide a safe and nurturing “home away from home” where your baby can grow and learn every day by exploring and making new discoveries. We are committed to making this first transition away from home easy and natural for you and your child as they take their first steps toward a bright future.
Because each infant is on a different schedule, our teachers create an individual infant plan for every child. Infants are presented with activities that boost their little brains, encourage their first words, build strong bodies and help make new little buddies. Our teachers record all feedings and diaper changes on a communication form for our families so you will know how your little one did throughout the day.
