Tell Me More about Infant Child Care

Give your infant the special child care they need for their age.

Infants’ needs are unique, and we understand this. We have infant-specific classrooms to keep your child safe and secure all day long. With one adult per 4 infants, your child will get the attention they deserve.

Throughout the year, we have special activities like magicians, bounce houses, and holiday events. We engage infants as much as developmentally appropriate in these activities so they gain the same experiences as older children. So many fun activities to ensure socialization!

Your infant will spend the day with employees who care and connect.

Our employees form close bonds with infants. We hire people who truly care about kids and know how to teach age-appropriate skills.

Together, we help your infant achieve important milestones.

We use research-based practices to make sure your infant learns age-appropriate skills. For example, rolling over, crawling, and eating are important to your infant’s development.

Your whole family will enjoy the behavior benefits of daily structure.

A daily routine allows your infant and you to make the most of each day. By creating a daily structure, your infant learns a sense of time and when things are going to happen. This means less fussiness and more flexibility for you and developmentally appropriate growth for your infant.

Outdoor exploration

Who loves to go outside?  We do! When the weather cooperates, and if your infant is up for it then we’ll go outside. Infants get to look around and enjoy everything nature has to offer.

Your infant will enjoy a welcoming, clean and safe environment.

We’ve built our academy buildings with a focus on kids of all sizes, including infants. It’s bright, colorful, and clean at Memories & Milestones Academy. We have a rigorous cleaning process and sanitize with hospital-grade products on a regular and scheduled basis.
