Excellent Care In A Safe Environment
The infant room is a safe, warm, and caring environment where your baby can explore, learn, and flourish. Your child is cocooned in safety and security as they awaken to the world around them.
Storytime, Art, Music, & More Boost Early Learning

- Exposure to music has a myriad of benefits for your baby’s brain development
- Storytime assists in language development, fosters listening skills, and develops an early love for books

We provide daily reports via the Procare app. Paper reports are offered to families if needed.
Each day begins with circle time, which includes things lke story time or show and tell. Activity centers, teacher-led lessons, fun activities, nutritious meals and snacks, rest time, and outdoor play take care of the rest of the day.
Children play outside twice a day, weather permitting. Age-appropriate playgrounds as well as expansive natural playscapes provide ample exploration. We reduce the amount of time spent outside in the event of precipitation or extreme temperatures.
Ratios vary by age. Infants are 1:4
It is natural for children to test limits and rules. Our staff uses positive management strategies including redirection, anticipation/prevention of problems, positive reinforcement, logical consequences, and encouragement rather than competition, comparison, or criticism. Most importantly, we recognize that part of this process is providing children with the tools and support they need to express their feelings and needs in acceptable ways. We abstain from corporal punishment or other humiliating or frightening disciplinary techniques.
When possible, we will work as a team with outside professionals to implement an individualized plan that supports the child’s inclusion and success. It may be determined that we do not have adequate expertise or resources for the child’s educational, medical, or other needs, especially in situations where safety is at risk.

We can accommodate minor allergies (with medical documentation) or meat-free diet, provided the family provides substitute items of equal nutritional value. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to work with generalized dietary restrictions, such as gluten intolerance.
Diapers & Potty Training
