Infant Care
Caterpillar Room
2 months to 15 months; Imagination Station on Coolspring Avenue

The Infant Care program welcomes little ones from six weeks to “first steps”. We recognize that it is often difficult for parents to return to work after the birth of their newborn. That's why our nurturing staff makes the transition as smooth as possible with:
- Implementation of the Continuity of Care model, which increases the amount of time caregivers and children spend together and therefore increases the opportunity for caregivers to develop more meaningful relationships with the children over time.
- Communicating and recording details of the child’s day
- Welcoming parents to “look in” on baby at any time
- Maintaining a comfortable area for breastfeeding moms and babies
- Providing infants with a safe, loving environment
- Balancing quiet, restful time with appropriately stimulating activities
- Providing individualized, weekly lesson plans focused on the child’s development
