6 Weeks – 16 Months

Our Infant Care Program

Every baby is different, and their care should be too. Our teachers take the time to truly know each baby—their routines, cues, personality, and needs—and provide loving care that follows their individual pace. Through warm relationships and everyday moments of play, connection, and exploration, we help babies feel safe, secure, and ready to discover their world.

Making sense of the world, together.

  • Talking, singing, and reading throughout the day
  • Safe textures, sounds, and materials to explore
  • Cause-and-effect play that encourages curiosity

Creativity & Exploration

Hands-on discovery, every day.

  • Music, movement, and interactive play
  • Books, mirrors, and sensory toys within reach
  • Opportunities to reach, grasp, explore, and figure things out

Social & Emotional Development

Trust comes first.

  • Needs answered promptly and consistently
  • Comfort, affection, and encouragement

Staying Connected Throughout the Day

We know how hard it can be to leave your baby in someone else’s care, and how much it means to get a little glimpse into their day. Through Procare, you’ll receive real-time updates on feedings, diaper changes, naps, activities, photos, and the little moments in between, helping you feel connected to your baby’s day even when you can’t be there.

What Parents Love About Our Infant Program

The infant room teachers could not be any kinder — they love and care for our babies as much as we could ever hope. I love picking my daughter up and walking in on her full-belly laughing with Ms. Terri!

— CKA Centerville Family

We absolutely love our infant teachers. They go above and beyond to help our little boy reach his milestones.

— CKA Zimmerman Family

Our daughter started her care at CKA at three months old. From day one it was clear how much she enjoyed it and felt cared for — she didn’t cry because she missed me, she cried because she didn’t want to leave!

— Melissa K., CKA Parent

Our son has been at CKA since he was 9 weeks old, and now he’s almost 1. As first-time parents, it means a lot to have a place where we feel comfortable, supported, and confident in his care every day. Even in the infant room, they do crafts and sensory activities, and they make time for outdoor activities when the weather allows.
