Frequently asked questions

When selecting an infant daycare, it’s important to consider factors like caregiver qualifications, safety measures, and the environment’s cleanliness and comfort. We ensure that our caregivers are highly trained and certified, with a low caregiver-to-infant ratio, which helps provide personalized care for each baby. Additionally, we maintain a safe, welcoming space where infants can grow and develop in their first years.

Is it okay for an infant to start daycare at such a young age?
Starting daycare at an early age can support an infant’s development by helping them adjust to routines, engage with others, and experience age-appropriate learning activities in a safe environment.

How can parents tell if an infant is adjusting well to daycare?
Signs of a smooth adjustment include consistent eating and sleeping routines, positive interactions with caregivers, and a sense of comfort within the daycare environment. Open communication with caregivers will help monitor the infant’s progress.

How does infant care support developmental milestones?
Infant care provides age-appropriate activities designed to stimulate motor skills, cognitive abilities, and socialization. Caregivers guide infants through these developmental stages, ensuring each baby receives the appropriate support at each milestone.

How does daycare benefit an infant’s emotional development?
Daycare provides an environment where infants can form attachments with caregivers, which is essential for emotional development. Our staff is trained to recognize and respond to the emotional needs of infants, helping them build a secure foundation for healthy emotional growth.
