To help develop this trust, we will assign one primary care giver for your baby. Your baby will be fed on demand or according to a schedule you give us. Babies will always be held during bottle feeding. Your baby will be diapered as soon as needed, at least every two hours.

In a safe play environment, your baby will be free to explore, watch other children, and practice emerging motor skills. Your baby will be talked to, sung to, cuddled, and rocked. You will receive a daily report on your baby's activities.

Sometime before 12 months of age, your baby will spend short amounts of time in our mobile infant room - "Teddy Bears". These time spans will gradually increase until both you and we agree he/she is ready to "graduate". At this age your child will be encouraged to nap on a cot and eat at a table, although high chairs are still available. Children in this room have plenty of free play time to choose their own activities including books, musical activities and finger plays. Colors and shapes will be emphasized. Coloring, painting and sand and water play will be part of the curriculum.
