We adapt our program to meet the individual needs of your infant. Each infant is assigned a primary caregiver who carries out the routines of diapering, feeding, napping and playing. The familiarity of these routines and their environment, together with the dependability of a consistent caregiver, creates security for our babies. This security is the foundation for learning, and provides a sense of well being for our parents.

Caregivers make parent communication a priority through ongoing communication and daily logs of their infant's activities.

In addition to our calm and nurturing indoor environment, we are pleased to announce that in June 2004 a new, state-of-the-art outdoor playground was completed for Babycare participants. Climbing, riding, sliding, and sensory development activities take place daily on our shaded and baby-safe surface. Stroller rides through our local neighborhood are an additional way for our infants to get fresh air and expand their worlds.

Daily Schedule:

Babycare is our only ECE program that does not have a set schedule, as each baby's schedule is completely child-driven based on his/her individual needs. We present each parent with a daily log of their child's activities at time of pick-up. Though no two logs would ever look the same, here is a sample of an infant's daily log: Babycare Sign In/Out Sheet.
