Infant Program
6 WEEKS - 18 MONTHS
Each child and parent is greeted individually and warmly by all staff they meet. Warm good mornings can be heard from the front desk and throughout our halls.
After establishing when your child had their last feeding and diaper change, the fun begins! We believe that children learn and develop more successfully in a comfortable environment built on play and relationships. Therefore, many times you will find our infants on the floor interacting with the teachers, engaged in activities such as reading and finger plays
Here at the CDC we like to think of ourselves as a part of your extended family. The daily transition from home to center should be as smooth as if your child were visiting relatives.
All infants are fed and allowed to nap on demand. We check and change diapers every hour or as needed. Once the infants are older we change our schedules and room arrangements to fit their needs. Ultimately, we schedule our activities around the needs and demands of the infants in our care.
