Building Trust & Body.

In the first year, the brain grows faster than at any other time. Our infant curriculum is heavily weighted towards Physical development (motor skills, sensory processing) and Emotional security (attachment, regulation).

  • High Physical: Tummy time, rolling, reaching.
  • High Emotional: Responsive feeding, cuddling.
  • Emerging Social: Face recognition, babbling.

What families can expect

Infant Care is supported by more than a schedule.

The daily experience is built around relationships, thoughtful routines, and developmentally appropriate support so children can feel known, safe, and ready for what comes next.

Schedule a Tour

Responsive care from the very beginning

Responsive caregiving follows each baby's cues. Songs, stories, conversation, and the sounds of language offer gentle language exposure, while safe movement and sensory exploration happen within individual feeding and rest routines.

Responsive daily care

Feeding, rest, diapering, and play follow each baby’s cues within calm, predictable routines.

Sensory and movement discovery

Safe floor play, reaching, grasping, texture, sound, and movement support early physical confidence.

Language from the beginning

Songs, stories, conversation, and responsive back-and-forth introduce the sounds and rhythms of language.

Close family connection

Teachers share daily care notes and observations so home and classroom routines can support one another.

Questions families often ask

Planning for Infant Care

How do infant teachers follow my baby's routine?

Teachers learn each baby's feeding, rest, comfort, and communication cues, then partner with families to keep care responsive and consistent.

What does learning look like for infants?

Learning begins through secure relationships, songs, stories, sensory exploration, safe movement, repetition, and warm back-and-forth interaction.

How do you support separation and attachment?

Teachers use predictable welcomes, calm transitions, and attentive caregiving to help babies build trust at their own pace.
