| INFANT care room The infant stage is marked most radically with the infant’s need to develop as unique individuals with behaviors and growth changes ever present. Our infants have their own classroom and specially trained staff who give our babies lots of attention and love. We keep a low ratio of infants to caregivers and offer lots of verbal and physical interaction between kids and our caregivers. We have age-appropriate toys as well as books. Our daily activities include lots of singing, talking, reading, and dancing as well as on-the-floor playtime activities.
