Baby Bugs Infant Program
Our Infant Program helps little baby bugs get moving on a fast track to early learning! From 6 weeks until the walking stages, our teachers bond with your baby to foster a strong emotional connection so your little one feels safe and loved in this new environment. We spend quality time getting to know their individual needs so that we can collaborate with families to customize meal plans, daily developmental activities and give special attention during the times they’ll need it most.
Our curriculum is designed to help infants achieve their milestones through sensory, social and motor activities. Infant classrooms are cozy and filled with stimulating colors, textures and sounds to keep your baby bug actively engaged throughout the day. The Infant Program is broken into two classrooms for major phases: early infancy and transition to toddlerhood. When our babies begin taking steps, show assertion and more self-control, they are moved up to “Infant II” where they are more developmentally on track with other progressive little movers.

I absolutely love it. We actually left for a few weeks and I almost immediately regretted the decision…. Every time I come in here he’s smiling and happy…. This makes me as a mom feel extremely comfortable.
They’ve had my son since he was 6 months old. This is a wonderful place to be. We love it because they’ve given him a place to learn and to play and to be loved on as much as he needs to be.
