Cuddle Care – Ages 6 weeks to 14 months

Our Frog Street gives our children a chance to focus on our Creative tools:

1. Touch
2. Smell
3. Taste
4. Listen
5. Respond as requested

In Cuddle Care health and safety comes first. Regular diaper change and daily washing of the hands is a must. We focus on art, small motor skills and circle time.

Children and parents please do not wear shoes in the infant room. They must be taken off in the entrance. This helps to keep carpets more sanitary for crawling infants and children.

Our Infant participate in Art & Crafts by using their foot prints to make things come alive. Go to pictures to see the things come alive. Parents must supply three complete weather appropriate change of clothing.

In addition, disposable diapers, wipes, bibs, bottles & formula and ointments are required to be supplied and replace as needed.

** Rest Time – Children need 2 crib sheets

**Meals – Parents must supply all food and beverages for their infant.

• All bottles must be labeled at all times. The staff will rinse the reusable bottles and return them daily.
• All bowls, spoons and other meal time items must be labeled with the child’s name all times.

Our staff do not wear shoes in this room in order to help keep the room clean of debris. Parents are NOT allowed in this room for safety reasons, only if they are breast feeding.
