Infants

For children who are newly born to 18 months; at our Mack Street House

Infant spaces are limited and are offered on a full-time basis only.

Menu

Because foods are introduced to infants gradually, parents must indicate which foods on our menus their child may have, and supply appropriate substitutions for foods they do not want their child served. Parents must also supply formula or breast milk daily, and diapers.

Things to bring on your first day
  • A blanket for naptime
  • Diapers/ pull-ups (a pack)
  • Wet wipes
  • Indoor shoes
  • Water bottle or bottle
  • Change of clothes
  • Weather appropriate clothing
  • Favorite stuffed animal
Nap-time

Infant nap schedules vary from baby to baby, and change over the time they are in the Infant group. We are flexible to these individual nap schedules, and simply endeavour to have babies onto the 12:30-2:30 pm nap schedule by the time they are bumping into the Toddler group. At or after 15 months of age, children begin to transition from a crib to a cot in preparation for moving into the Toddler group.
