Infant Care
Our infant care program provides a warm, nurturing, and safe home environment where your little one can feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. We understand that every infant has their own personality, routine, and needs, and we strive to provide individualized care that follows your child’s schedule as closely as possible.
Infant care includes attentive supervision, age-appropriate activities, (e.g. sensory play, tummy time, reading, singing), and opportunities for exploration and development. We provide responsive care throughout the day, including diaper changes, feeding, soothing, and helping your baby settle into a comfortable sleep routine. We believe that the earliest months of life are an important time for building trust and connection. Through consistent routines, gentle interaction, and lots of one-on-one attention, we create a home-away-from-home where infants can grow, learn, and thrive. Our goal is to give your baby loving, personalized care while giving you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for. Due to the individualized and attentive care each infant needs, we have very limited space available for infants.
Toddler Care
Our toddler care program provides a loving, safe, and engaging home environment where little ones can learn, explore, and grow at their own pace. We understand that the toddler years are full of curiosity, discovery, and big emotions, and we provide patient, responsive care to support your child through every stage. We provide a play-based child-led environment where toddlers have opportunities to participate in age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, music and singing, story time, sensory play, outdoor play, imaginative play, and hands-on learning. Activities are designed to encourage creativity, language development, motor skills, independence, social interaction, and confidence. We also provide support with daily routines such as meals and snacks, diapering or potty-training assistance, handwashing, nap/rest time, and transitions throughout the day. We encourage toddlers to practice age-appropriate independence while providing the guidance and reassurance they need. Our goal is to create a warm, structured, and nurturing home-away-from-home where your toddler feels secure, supported, and excited to learn and play. We want every child to leave our care feeling loved, confident, and exited to come back each day!
