Infant Care

For babies from six weeks to 21 months.

A calm, steady first classroom

Our infant rooms care for babies from six weeks old. Your baby has the same caregivers day after day, in a small group, with a teacher who keeps you up to date on feeds, sleep and play.

Infant care is offered two to five days a week. There are no part-time rates for babies under 12 months.

What every week includes

  • A credentialed teacher in every classroom, trained in child development and the Rhode Island Early Learning Standards.
  • Breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack, included in tuition.
  • Drop-off from 7:30am and pick-up by 5:00pm, Monday to Friday.
  • Open communication with your child’s teacher, so you always know how the day went.

Openings change by classroom

Availability varies by age group and changes through the year. Right now we have limited openings for four and five year olds, and the infant and toddler lists are long.

Joining the waitlist does not guarantee a place. It is how we reach you when one opens, and how we understand what families in Providence need.
