Meals

We provide generic Similac infant formula. Parents are welcome to provide any other formula or breastmilk to be used during feedings.

We serve breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack for the infants who are ready to start eating solid foods. We provide Gerber baby purees or table food from our USDA guided weekly menus.

Activities

We create weekly lesson plans to go along with our themes where we provide safe sensory activities (sensory bottles/squishy bags) and a craft.

Safe Sleep Practices

We practice safe sleep. We provide sleep sacks and cribs with tight fitted sheets for every child. Nothing can be in the crib with the child except a binky (that's not on a clip). We do not allow swaddling of any kind. We can let the infant fall asleep in a swing/bouncer, but once they're asleep, they'll be promptly moved to a crib.
