Safe & Secure For Your Peace Of Mind
Rest assured that your baby is secure behind multiple layers of protection. CPR-trained staff and a fenced playground combine with restricted access entry controls and internal use security cameras to provide a safety cocoon.
Matching Home Routines Makes Transitions Easy
Your baby’s transition from home to a center environment goes much smoother when they can follow their established routines for feeding, naps, and play. The infant nursery keeps your child on their home schedule for your child’s benefit and yours.
Responsive Care Forms Strong Social-Emotional Foundations
Your baby learns from others’ actions and responses to their needs. Caregivers who respond with respect and care help your baby form strong relationships that are the basis of social-emotional development as they grow.
Dedicated Feeding Space Offers Quiet & Connection
Whether your little one prefers breast or bottle, take advantage of a quiet, soothing feeding space to support continued bonding between you and your baby. Expert staff also provide nursing support, formula advice, and more.
Daily Sensory Play Grows Crucial Brain Connections
Your baby learns about the world through their senses, so plenty of sensory stimulation is critical for healthy brain development. Teachers ensure exposure to textures, sounds, colors, and other stimuli that build essential brain functions.
Space For Free Movement Supports Motor Development
One hallmark of the Montessori method is ensuring that babies get lots of time and space to stretch their muscles and use their bodies. From tummy time to crawling, your baby reaches all their physical milestones!
Your Whole Family Feels Welcome With Festive Events & Seasonal Celebrations!
Highly-Educated Teachers & Low Ratios Provide Top-Quality Care
With a low teacher-to-student ratio, your baby receives attentive care. Your child’s teachers are the most educated in Defiance – 95% of leads have their CDA® credential, and 100% of assistants have a career pathway level 2 or higher!
A Blended Curriculum Supports Your Baby’s Whole Development
Even with babies, play-based learning is best! The unique Learning Beyond Paper™ curriculum combines with Montessori-inspired methods to provide relationship-focused education and care. Infants learn at their own pace according to their age and developmental stage for whole-child development.
Baby Signing, Music, & Art Grow Communication Skills
Music and art introduce the idea of creative expression – yes, even to babies! Your child learns that these are fun activities to share with caregivers and friends. Baby signing lets them communicate and even enhances language acquisition!
Time In Nature Stimulates All Your Baby’s Senses
Even before your baby can engage in playground activities, they love feeling breezes and sunshine while they lounge and practice budding motor skills on blankets in their own area, safe from big kids’ exuberant play.
Brightwheel® & Parent Support To Meet Your Family’s Needs
The Brightwheel® app lets you communicate directly with your child’s teachers and view curriculum reports and developmental milestones. Parent education courses help you navigate parenthood’s challenges, while onsite therapies give your child the support they need in a familiar environment.
A Squeaky Clean You Can Count On
Staff sanitize daily and pay special attention to the infant room, where everything goes in your baby’s mouth. Air purifiers keep airborne germs to a minimum, and electrostatic sprayers help staff reach every nook and cranny, including soft toys and bedding.
