Lil’ Ones

We provide a safe and nurturing “home away from home” where babies can grow and learn every day by exploring and making new discoveries.

Our Lil’ Ones Infant program helps babies grow, gain mobility, and develop intellectual and social skills for a lifetime of success.

We are committed to making this first transition away from home easy and natural for you and your child as she takes her first steps toward a bright future.

The following lists the policies for the Infant rooms. These policies are based on National Association for the Education Young Children (NAEYC) regulations as well as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) training received by the staff

  • All babies under the age of 6 months will be placed on their backs to sleep. If parents want their child to be placed on his / her stomach or side, they must submit a signed waiver from a licensed physician.
