6 Weeks – 16 Months

Our Infant Program

At Creative Kids Academy, we know no two babies develop the same way. That’s why our infant program is built around responsive, individualized care that follows each child’s unique routines, interests, and developmental milestones. Through loving relationships, purposeful play, and enriching everyday experiences, our teachers help infants feel safe, secure, and excited to explore the world around them. From feeding and diapering to story time, music, and tummy time, every interaction becomes an opportunity for learning, connection, and growth.

How We Support Your Baby’s Development

Physical Development

We support healthy physical growth by encouraging movement and exploration in developmentally appropriate ways, including:

  • Individualized sleep schedules based on each infant’s needs
  • Plenty of supervised tummy time
  • Opportunities to roll, crawl, pull up, stand, and take first steps
  • Activities that strengthen fine and gross motor skills

Cognitive & Language Development

Our teachers help infants make sense of the world around them through warm, responsive interactions and engaging experiences, including:

  • Talking, singing, and reading throughout the day
  • Sensory exploration with a variety of safe textures, sounds, and materials
  • Cause-and-effect experiences that encourage curiosity and discovery
  • Opportunities to explore, observe, and discover through play

Creativity & Exploration

Through sensory-rich, hands-on experiences, our teachers encourage babies to explore the world around them while nurturing curiosity and supporting healthy brain development through:

  • Music, singing, movement, and interactive play
  • Books, mirrors, sensory, and age-appropriate toys that encourage exploration
  • Opportunities to reach, grasp, crawl, and discover cause and effect

Social & Emotional Development

Strong relationships are the foundation for learning. Our caregivers provide consistent, nurturing care that helps infants develop trust and secure attachments by:

  • Responding promptly to each child’s needs
  • Offering comfort, affection, and encouragement
  • Creating predictable daily routines
  • Building positive relationships through play, conversation, and one-on-one interactions

Staying Connected Throughout the Day

The first few months away from your baby can be one of the biggest transitions you’ll experience as a parent. We understand how important it is to know your little one is happy, loved, cared for, and thriving while you’re apart. Through the Procare app, you’ll receive real-time updates on feedings, diaper changes, naps, activities, photos, and those little moments that make each day special. We believe strong communication is an essential part of exceptional infant care, helping you feel informed, connected, and confident every step of the way.

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.

— Liz F., CKA Parent
