Our Nursery/Infant classrooms allow our students to explore the world around them in a variety of ways. The schedule in this classroom is entirely dependent upon the child and their family, to ensure that we are meeting all of their growth and development needs. This includes feeding and napping times. Per the state of New Hampshire, children in diapers must be changed every two hours, or sooner if necessary. Students in these classrooms often learn how to roll over, crawl, self-feed, and sometimes even walk! Students are encouraged to spend their day free from restraining objects like swings, chairs, and jumpers. We use these items sparingly and suggest parents support this at home.​ Infants under the age of one must always be placed in their crib on their back to sleep. It is important that before having your child start at any center, that you encourage safe-sleep habits at home, and have your infant sleep in a crib/bassinet prior to and during enrollment. Bottle feeding before having your child start will also help in their transition to childcare, and we do require that your infant can successfully drink from a bottle before their first day. Our teachers complete First Aid/CPR and SIDS sleep safety training, to ensure we follow all sleep safe protocols. 

Below is a sample schedule of some of the things we do during the day.
