Infants
Our Infant Program provides a warm, nurturing environment where your baby’s safety, comfort, and development come first. We understand that every infant grows at their own pace, and our caregivers focus on building strong, trusting relationships that support each child’s unique needs.
We also recognize that this may be the first time you are entrusting your infant to the care of someone outside your family, and we feel truly honored to partner with you during this important first year. Together, we share many special first moments, and our goal is to create a family-like atmosphere where both you and your child feel safe, supported, and connected.
Classroom Groups
Infants are placed in classrooms based on age and developmental readiness to ensure their needs are met in an environment designed specifically for them:
-
Young Infants – Sea Turtles: 8 weeks to 8 months
-
Mobile Infants – Dragonflies: 6 months to 12 months
-
Older Infants – Hoots: 10 months to 18 months
Each group has dedicated space, materials, and routines that support the unique skills and milestones of that stage of development.
Developmental Focus
The first year of life is filled with rapid growth and exciting milestones. While every child develops at their own pace, our program supports growth in the following areas:
-
Language Development: Understanding simple directions and using early words such as hi, bye, and more
-
Gross Motor Skills: Rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking
-
Fine Motor Skills: Grasping objects, stacking toys, and self-feeding with finger foods
-
Problem-Solving Skills: Exploring cause and effect, finding hidden objects, and completing simple puzzles
Children are assessed on developmental milestones approximately every 3–4 months, allowing families to stay informed while enabling our teachers to plan activities that support continued progress.
Our Day
In our Young Infant classrooms, feeding and naps follow each child’s individual schedule or family preference. As infants grow and transition into older classrooms, they are gradually introduced to a more predictable daily routine.
Older infants follow a regular eating schedule:
-
Breakfast: 8:00 AM
-
Lunch: 11:00 AM
-
Afternoon Snack: 2:00 PM
Nap schedules also evolve with development, beginning with two naps per day and transitioning to one midday nap as children are ready.
Throughout the day, infants enjoy plenty of tummy time, floor play, and one-on-one interaction, along with age-appropriate activities such as art exploration, reading, sensory play, and water play. Weather permitting, children enjoy a daily walk for fresh air and sunlight.
Families receive daily reports detailing feedings, naps, diaper changes, and activities, helping you stay closely connected to your child’s day.
