Welcome to the Nursery!

Our nursery is designed for infants six weeks to twelve months in age. We have sleepers and an area designed to help with getting infants to sleep safely and in a quiet area. Infants will begin discovering the world around them through sound and images that will help their brains grow and develop. 

We strive to keep the area safe and accessible to all infants. We will also record feedings and diapering. 

We will also let our infants have outside time to help explore the great outdoors. We have a designated play area for them that will have swings, ride-on toys, and balance equipment to help them play and learn.

We do have limited spots as of right now.

Nursery Daily Schedule

We will follow this basic outline for our daily routines. Of course little ones don't follow a schedule, so if someone is hungry or needs a diaper changed, we will make sure they have what they need to get back to playing.
