Infant Program

Responsive, gentle care for your baby’s first big milestones.

About the program

A nurturing start, at your child's pace

A nurturing and responsive environment supporting early movement, communication, sensory discovery, emotional connection, and important developmental milestones. Our educators build secure relationships first, because babies explore most when they feel safe.

Feeding and sleep follow your baby’s own rhythm, and you’ll hear how the day went at pick-up.

What your child explores

Focus areas

  • Early movement

    Daily supervised floor play (tummy time, reaching, rolling and crawling) in soft, safe spaces.

  • Communication

    Songs, stories and back-and-forth ‘conversations’ that grow first words and gestures.

  • Sensory discovery

    Textures, water, sound and light to explore at their own pace.

  • Emotional connection

    Consistent, caring educators who learn each baby’s cues and routines.

Infant Program FAQ

Questions parents ask

Still wondering? Ask us anything.

What age can my baby start?

Our Infant Program welcomes children from 10 to 18 months.

How do you handle bottles and breastmilk?

Families provide formula or breastmilk with written feeding instructions. Milk is refrigerated at or below 4°C, bottles are warmed in warm water only (never a microwave), infants are always held while feeding, and amounts are recorded and shared with you daily.

Where do infants sleep?

Infants have safe, individual sleep arrangements in our sleep room and are monitored regularly. Families provide a labelled fitted sheet and blanket, sent home weekly for washing.

How will my baby settle in?

We offer a gradual entry when needed (shorter visits that lengthen as your child becomes comfortable) so they can build trust and a sense of belonging.
