Infant Child Care
The Infant Program at 黑料视频 provides more than just daycare for children aged six weeks to fifteen months. We understand how hard it is to leave your precious cherubs in someone else鈥檚 care, so we try to create an extension of your home.
Our infant rooms are stimulating, clean, and a developmentally nurturing environment led by a team of skilled caretakers who understand that every infant develops at their own pace. While we have scheduled activities to maintain consistency in their days, individualized plans for each child鈥檚 care are created, in partnership with his or her parent.
Our classroom environment includes toys and materials that foster the development of fine and gross motor skills and provides them with supervised opportunities to improve physical development. Language growth is enhanced through immersion in sign language, music and books. Mothers are welcome to use private breastfeeding areas to feed or pump. A sense of community and trust is driven by the relationships formed with their teachers and interaction with other children.
