Our Programs

Infant Care

Our Infant Room is a small and personal environment tailored to meet your baby’s needs. Your newborn will receive highly responsive care as they form a special bond with our caregivers through feedings, cuddling, singing, and playtime. Our teachers understand the importance of nurturing your infant’s daily needs and follow individualized routines. An “Infant Information” log will outline your baby’s day to keep you well informed of feedings, diaper changes, and naps.
