Infants
(birth 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 chid served. Parents must also supply formula or breast milk daily, and diapers.
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.
