Infant and Waddler Care

In our infant care, each caregiver knows the importance of forming a close relationship with their assigned children and his/her family. Daily written communication is given every day, and we always encourage phone calls or visits.

• Our ratio is 1:3 
• All caregivers have infant experience and are CPR/1st aid certified 
• Lead teachers are caring, experienced and trained in all aspects of infant care 
• Children can start as young as six weeks old

As your child progresses, we create an environment that will build fine/gross motor skills, and cognitive development.

• We have a private deck area for the infants to play outside 
• We created a indoor space for infants to practice their gross motor skills
• Our teachers make sure that each infant is stimulated by organized activities such as art projects, games, songs and stories.

Our caregivers will stay with their children (as a class) until they turn three and move on to preschool. We believe that children under three years old have a better child care experience when they have a stable environment with the same caregivers.
