Our daily routine schedule for infants ( shown below) is just a guide to get you started, you will need to be flexible and feed the baby’s when they are hungry and put them to bed when they are tired. Infants should be talked to and played with on their own schedules. When baby's are up and awake follow the routines below for taking the babies outside and interacting with them. It's best to interact with the babies when they are awake and happy, spend some one on one time with each baby too, talk to baby, sing to baby and make sure you read to the babies in your care. If you need lesson plans for infant activities, songs or stories – please, click here.

Infant Daycare Schedule
Please keep in mind: This schedule is only a general guideline this schedule is flexible and will be changed to adjust to baby’s needs.
Naps, snacks, lunch and bottles will be adjusted to baby’s own schedule.
Outdoor play will depend on the weather.
Diapers are changed every 2 hours or more often if needed.
Parents are welcome to visit unannounced at any time.
Baby Group Time: During the day, when babies are up, awake, happy and being social we will place the babies near each other for a baby group time experience. This will be a fun learning experience for the babies to see each other as we interact with the baby’s using this week’s theme with puppets, pictures or stuffed animals, reading a story, acting out a finger play or singing songs.
Outdoor Play: Outdoor play time for a young baby may consist of a walk in the carriage, sitting in teachers lap while hearing songs or stories, rocking in a chair with teacher or gentle pushes in a baby swing (when baby can sit up unattended).
Older babies outside time may consist of (same as above) or sitting on a playpen pad or a thick blanket outside with age appropriate toys.
Discovery Baskets: Older babies will have fun each day exploring the discovery baskets which contain materials to explore at their own pace. These items will be fun sensory items of different shapes and textures.
