Infant Child Care Program

Our Infant child care 0-18 month program is designed to provide your little one with a safe and nurturing environment. Our team of Registered Early Childhood Educators will ensure that your child receives the best care possible. Through daily sensory and creative experiences, your child will develop their social, emotional, cognitive, and motor skills at their own pace. We understand that every infant is unique, which is why we offer a flexible schedule to meet the individual needs of each child.
