Infant Care

A calm, sensory-rich nursery where every nap, bottle, and giggle is tracked and shared with you in real time.

Overview

Inside the Infant Care classroom

Our infant room is designed around one simple idea: babies thrive on consistency, warmth, and one-on-one attention. Low ratios mean your child is held, talked to, and responded to all day long.

Trained, CPR-certified caregivers follow each family's individual feeding, sleeping, and comfort routines, and log every detail in Brightwheel so you're never in the dark during your workday.

Soft lighting, quiet music, and tummy-time zones encourage early motor and sensory development from day one.
