Infants program
Starting at 6 weeks old, our infants receive tender care based on their individual needs and schedules. While cuddles and naps are a large part of our day, we offer activities that allow your child to explore his environment. Through music, art and play, we encourage the development of movement and motor coordination, as well as self-confidence and self-expression.
