Age Group
We welcome infants from 6 weeks old.
Feeding
Parents are encouraged to provide five pre-made bottles daily, clearly labeled with the infant’s name and the current date. As infants progress to various stages of baby food, we collaborate with parents to establish a personalized feeding plan. Daily updates regarding feeding times and intake will be communicated to parents.
Diapering
We ask parents to supply diapers for their infants and provide daily reports on diaper changes, including timing and details.
Program Overview
Our program emphasizes trust and positive interactions, fostering a strong sense of self-esteem in infants. Through daily routines and sensory experiences, we promote listening, language skills, and exploration of the world around them. Play activities target both large and small muscle development, catering to skills such as sitting, crawling, and grasping.
Communication with Parents
Daily communication is a cornerstone of our program. At drop-off and pick-up times, parents receive verbal and written highlights of their child’s day, ensuring they are closely informed about their child’s activities and milestones. Parents are always welcome to visit, join for meals, or simply spend time with their child.
