Our infant program, or the Yellow Ducks as we call them, provides for infants ages 3 months through around 18 months or whenever the child is developmentally ready to move up into the toddler space. We believe an experienced, professional staff is the key to a successful infant program as well as a low child to educator ratio that stands at 3:1.

 

Since the infants have a wide developmental range, we have a very loose daily schedule. Bottle feedings occur whenever the infant gets hungry and infants are encouraged to nap whenever they are tired. We find that after infants have been together in the Center for a number of months they seem to get on the same food and nap schedule. Diapering, of course, occurs throughout the day. Our scheduled naptime is after lunch (12:30 or 1:00). The infants sleep as long as they need.
