Learning and Development Through Play:
Learning begins long before children enter a classroom. During infancy, everyday experiences provide opportunities to discover sounds, textures, movement, communication and the world around them.
Our play-based approach gives infants opportunities to safely explore their environment through age-appropriate experiences.
Depending on each baby’s individual developmental stage, activities may encourage:
- Movement and motor development
- Sensory exploration
- Early communication
- Curiosity and discovery
- Social interaction
- Cognitive development
Our goal is to create an environment where babies have opportunities to explore and develop at a pace that is comfortable for them.
Supporting Your Baby’s Daily Routine:
Consistency and familiar routines can help babies become more comfortable in a daycare environment. Our team works with parents to understand their child’s individual schedule and care needs.

- Nap & Rest Time: Infants are provided appropriate opportunities to rest throughout their day according to their individual routines.
