We understand that each infant is unique and requires individual attention to thrive. Our caregivers are dedicated to providing personalized care that caters to your baby’s specific needs. This includes creating tailored feeding schedules, ensuring timely diaper changes, and establishing a comforting nap routine that aligns with your baby’s natural rhythm. Our goal is to create a homelike atmosphere where your baby feels secure, loved, and understood.
Our infant rooms are thoughtfully arranged to be both safe and inviting. They are equipped with soft, tactile toys, age-appropriate books, and sensory play materials that stimulate your baby’s senses and promote cognitive development. We prioritize safety with rigorous cleaning protocols and child-proofing measures to ensure a hazard-free space where your baby can explore freely.

This ensures effective communication between families and teachers.
Our program is meticulously designed to provide you with complete confidence in every aspect of your child’s experience, from health and safety to a curriculum that prepares them for future learning.
In our Infants Program at Little Ducklings Daycare, sensory play is a central focus of early childhood development. Understanding the essential role sensory experiences play in cognitive, physical, social, and emotional growth, our curriculum is designed to engage infants through a variety of hands-on activities.
