Infant Center

Castles Preschool offers an infant program that not only meets the needs of your infants, but allows them to be on their own schedule. We provide formula, cereals, and foods for infants under one year, as well as a full menu for those that are 1-2 years old. The babies are on their own sleeping and eating schedules, and those who are 1-2 years start to be on the same eating and sleeping schedule for their later transition to our 2 year old room. We like to meet needs of parents who wish to visit their baby for breastfeeding time. We allow a private area for mothers to drop in and have their one on one time with their child on their lunch breaks, etc. All of the babies are interacted with in appropriate play for their age and development. As babies grow to sit up and crawl, more activities are planned for them. The lead teacher does finger painting activities, short story times, and song circles. A cubby is provided for your childs items, such as extra clothes, diapers, and wipes. Each day the teachers provide a daily report card stating the information relating to diaper change times, eating times, and sleeping times. This is done to allow each parent to know what went on with their child for the day, and gives a sense of experiencing their childs day.
