Full Time Infant Programs
Our Infant program is for children aged 3 - 18 months. Our program is designed
to meet the developing needs of our youngest children. Parents work in
partnership with our qualified teachers to guide children's existing sleep
and feeding schedules and to facilitate the changes from home care to day care.
Our infants are offered opportunities to explore the world through the use of
developmentally appropriate toys and equipment, sensory activities such as water play, and finger painting as well as music and story times throughout the day. We have recently introduced a baby signing program to allow our infants to better communicate with our team members and parents. The first signs we introduce are: food, milk, more, and done. This program continues on into our toddler classrooms. Our infant program is also able to provide your child with the opportunity for outdoor time with the use of our quad strollers which allow us to take them on walks through the community as well as access to our infant only onsite playground. As your infant develops gross motor skills they will move into our toddler program where they will also have access to an onsite fenced in playground.
Infant programs are available at the Woodlawn location and our Pleasant Street location.
