Our approach to caring for your family

Our foundational knowledge of child development drives everything we do.

Did you know that by the time your child turns 3 their brain has already reached 80% of its adult volume? That statistic perfectly illustrates how critical early childhood experiences are in setting the stage for the rest of their life.

A child’s education begins long before they enter kindergarten or even preschool. From brith, babies are absorbing everything around them to learn how to become an independent person. The greatest responsibility of an outside carer is to promote healthy growth and secure attachment between baby and their family in the absence of the baby’s primary caregiver. We take that very seriously.

We’ve created an enriching, Montessori-style infant care option that starts education from birth and grows as your child does.

Thoughtful activities and care practices that are responsive support baby’s intellectual and psychological development. Our goal is to create an environment where your child can learn to make connections between what they do and how the world responds.

Specifically, daycare providers can help infants by supporting language and movement on their own unique developmental timeline. Progressing along these milestones helps your baby develop confidence in themselves and trust in the world around them.
