Our Infant Classroom cares for children starting at 6 weeks old through 12 months old. 

In the Infant Room, the child’s health, safety, and general welfare will be the first consideration of the teachers in the room.  Care of infants will be consistent and reliable; that is, they will not change drastically from day to day.

This will include but not limited to: Food (time, type, amount), naps (asleep to awake time, interval sleep checks), Diaper changes (time, type), any medication given, outside play time, and general comments on activities, unusual behavior, milestones, etc.
