Infant Daily Schedule
Infant Care Daily Schedule & Curriculum
Babies need to be held, loved and encouraged to safely explore their world. They’ll get lots of cuddles and stimulating activities throughout their day in our care. We do not allow children to use any type of equipment (high chairs, bouncy seats, etc) that causes them to be restrained for a more than 20 minutes during a three hour period.
Nobody likes a wet diaper, and we check and change each child regularly throughout the day. We work with each parent to establish a schedule for bottles and clean “binkies” throughout the day. You’ll find a schedule similar to the one below in all of our infant child care classrooms.
