The Infant Curriculum



Safety

Early Milestones is committed to providing a safe, secure, and engaging environment that supports your infant’s growth and development. We facilitate this through a range of developmentally appropriate activities and consistent routines. Your infant will receive personalized care throughout the day, fostering their physical, social-emotional, and cognitive development.



Individualized Care

We create a supportive and nurturing environment for infants by implementing a developmentally appropriate, play-based program tailored to meet each child’s unique needs. Our primary goal is to provide personalized care and focused attention to every child in our care.



Daily Activities

We provide infants with a soothing and comfortable sleeping environment to support their regular nap routines in a tranquil setting. Our daily activities for infants include tummy time, music and movement sessions, and a range of sensory activities designed to encourage development and well-being. The program also features interactive games such as peek-a-boo, the use of rhythm instruments, imitation games, and additional sensory experiences.

Daily Schedule

This schedule is meant to give you an idea of your child’s day. Infant schedules require flexibility to respond to the needs of each individual child. Parents will receive a detailed infant report at the end of each day.

What Our Families are Saying

We brought our 11 week old to Early Milestones, her first daycare. She adapted well and we had a great experience. Handing over your tiny new baby and heading back to work can be difficult, but we developed such confidence that Eva and her team would take great care of her, that it was really a pleasure dropping her off. Eva is professional, warm, experienced and kind. Highly recommend!

I have only positive things to say about Eva. My baby girl loves spending time there. She goes to Eva with a huge smile every day I drop her off. Eva is a perfectionist, very supportive and I have never had to convey our needs more than once to her. The daycare itself is so nicely maintained, extremely clean and safe. I feel so lucky to have found Eva to care for my baby.

We are very pleased with the care our daughter receives at Early Milestones Daycare! Our daughter has been going to Early Milestones since she was 3 months old and has grown into a happy, healthy, well-adjusted, thriving toddler. She cant wait to get in the door in the morning and see what new adventures await her at daycare! We highly recommend Early Milestones Daycare.

– Annette Z.

Early milestones daycare had been our son’s daycare since he was 3 months old (he’s almost 2 now) and Eva has taken such great care of him. He came to her pretty weak at tummy time and with her help, we saw great improvements in his head strength. Any needs we had or concerns were handled very professionally and it’s obvious to us that he gets the best loving care we could hope for.
