INFANTS - 12 MONTHS

Montessori Based Nursery
A certified Montessori teacher works daily in the nursery to introduce Montessori to our babies.
One on one Montessori activities take place in the morning & again in the afternoon with each baby.
Never hesitate to ask caregivers what Montessori activities they will be doing with the babies that day.

*Our caregiver/baby ratio is 4 to 1 in this nursery. We will only accept  8 babies for our 2 caregivers.
*Webcams allow parents (& perhaps relatives who live far away) watch the infant on our secured website
*Frequent Diaper Changes take place throughout the day
*Caregivers in Casa dei Bambini I (6 weeks-12 months) keep with home schedules for feedings & sleep time
*Refrigerator is available in nursery for storing milk, formula or baby food
*All babies are sent home with a daily report to help parents monitor feedings and diaper activity.
*We will administer medication ONLY if parent has signed a consent form that day.

* Shake Rattle & Roll is offered to all infants for an additional $30.00/month and takes place every Wednesday.


*IMPORTANT: It is our policy that NO child shall be left in our care or more than 10 hours per day.  If this becomes a regular occurrence, we have the right to terminate your child's enrollment with no refund.
