Infant Care
Our Infant Care program is built to help children feel safe, supported, and ready to explore through responsive care and a nurturing environment.
Our Infant Program is Designed to Give You Peace of Mind
Your Baby Deserves More Than Just Supervision
From six weeks to 18 months, our infant program wraps your little one in warmth, responsive care, and play-based learning – while keeping you connected every step of the way. In our calm and secure environment, our teachers will spend ample amounts of time rocking, cuddling, talking, singing, and engaging with your little one. Through thoughtful efforts, they will turn ordinary caregiving routines into teachable moments, based on individual needs and developmental level, following a curriculum designed for even our youngest learners.
Here’s what the research tells us: 82% of the brain develops in the first three years of life. Every cuddle, song, back-and-forth conversation, and moment of differentiated care in our program builds toward your child’s lifelong development.
Choosing our program means your baby receives personalized attention that supports their earliest milestones – in an environment designed to feel just like home.
When To Send Your Child to Infant Daycare
Leaving your baby for the first time is one of the hardest things a parent does. There’s no perfect moment – each family has to decide on the right time for them.
Our programs typically welcome infants starting at six weeks. (Please check your local school for details.) Whether you’re returning to work at six weeks or waiting until your baby is older, we’ll be ready.
We take a partnership approach from day one, working with you to develop your baby’s daily schedule, sharing photo updates throughout the day, and sending you detailed written reports on feedings, naps, diaper changes, and learning activities. Our teachers often become like extended family, and that’s by design.
From your first tour to your child’s first day, our team moves through every transition with you.
What Sets Our Infant Care Program Apart
There are a few ways that we stand apart from other preschools and may be the right fit for your family. We’re here to support your little one (and you!) with choosing a quality infant program near you.
- Low Teacher-to-Infant Ratios: Your infant’s bond with our caring staff is one we are proud to help develop! Our low teacher ratios mean more cuddles, stories, and development milestones for each little learner. The specific ratios can vary by state and school, so we encourage our parents to check with their School Director for more details.
- Your Baby’s Own Schedule: We follow your infant’s individual routine for feeding, sleeping, and play. Each teacher connects with each infant to learn what works best for them, and adapts to their rhythm to provide the highest-quality care.
- Daily Connection for Parents: Photo updates and detailed reports on feeding, sleep, diapering and learning, sent to you every single day.
- Baby Signs®: Before they can speak, your baby learns to communicate hunger, tiredness, and other needs. This gives babies a voice, reducing frustration and boosting emotional development.
- Trained, Caring Teachers: Teachers who know your child by name, preference, and personality.
- Accreditation & Quality Ratings: Many Cadence locations are NAEYC accredited or hold a state quality rating, showing that we go above and beyond licensing requirements. Ask your local School Director more when you tour!
Supporting Every Developmental Milestone
The experiences your child has in the first three years of life are pivotal to their physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional growth. Our professional team fosters foundational skills through personalized care and engaging activities in a calm, secure environment.
Thinking & Learning (Cognitive)
Early brain development depends on caregiver responsiveness, exposure to language, nutrition, and physical activity. Research shows that back-and-forth exchanges of words, sounds, and expressions — not just hearing a stream of words — are an active ingredient in brain growth.
Our teachers don’t just talk at your baby. They have conversations with them — tuning in to coos and babbles, responding, and encouraging more. We read to infants every day, which builds listening, memory, and early language skills. And we sing, rhyme, and play in ways that strengthen cognitive skills while creating a positive, joyful atmosphere.
Feelings & Friendships (Socio-Emotional)
Feeling safe is the foundation for everything else — attention, learning, even language. Research reveals that emotional and cognitive development are closely interrelated: responsive caregiving helps infants begin to regulate their emotions, build a sense of trust in the world, and develop the attention skills that support school readiness.
Our caregivers provide consistent, responsive care — rocking, cuddling, and tuning into to each baby’s needs throughout the day. These early interactions don’t just feel good. They build the emotional foundation your child will rely on for life.
Moving & Growing (Physical)
From lifting their head to taking their first steps, every motor milestone matters. Our infant program is designed for movement — with comfortable floor space and age-appropriate equipment that gives your baby room to safely practice and build both large and fine motor skills.
Whether your infant is just beginning to hold their head up, rolling over, or pulling themselves to stand, our caregivers celebrate every milestone and create the conditions for the next one.
What Your Infant’s Day Looks Like
Singing: Songs and music strengthen cognitive skills and create a warm, positive emotional environment.
You Won’t Miss a Moment
We know you wish you could be there for every smile, squirm, and squeal. With our daily parent communication, you will be.
Each day you receive a detailed report covering your baby’s feedings, naps, diaper changes, and learning activities. Photos of special moments are sent directly to you daily. Your baby’s daily schedule is built with you, not handed to you.
We believe the best outcomes for children happen when families and caregivers work as partners. That’s not just a philosophy- it’s how we operate every day.
