Peace of Mind: How Our Infant and Toddler Programs Support Your Return to Work

We know how emotional it can be to think about leaving your little one in someone else’s care as you return to work. Whether it’s your first time or not, the transition can be hard for both you and your child. That’s why we’re here to support your whole family every step of the way. From personalized care routines to real-time communication, we make sure you feel confident and connected, even when you can’t be with your child.
Trained Teachers Who Truly Care
Our infant and toddler teachers are specially trained to understand the unique needs of this age group. With ongoing professional development, they stay current on best practices and continue to grow in their ability to care for your child. Their experience, patience, and warmth make all the difference in helping your little one feel safe, loved, and ready to learn.
Personalized Infant Care Starts Before Day One
When it comes to daycare for infants, it’s not one-size-fits-all. Before your child’s first day, we’ll meet with you to learn all about your family. We want to know your preferences and your child’s habits—including sleep and feeding routines, as well as how they are best comforted. With personalized infant care, your baby’s day is designed just for them. Each infant follows their own schedule for naps and feedings, and our teachers follow their cues to make sure their needs are met with care and consistency. Whether your child drinks breast milk, formula, or is starting baby food, we handle every step safely and attentively.
Settling into our Toddler Classroom
Our toddlers begin to follow a more structured schedule, and we know this change can take time. That’s why we work together with families to make the transition to the classroom as seamless as possible. Here, you can expect daily routines that include age-appropriate meals, nap times, and learning experiences. We only offer toddler-safe foods in small, manageable pieces to reduce the risk of choking. If your child has food allergies or dietary needs, we’re prepared. Teachers are trained to respond quickly, and emergency medications stay with your child at all times. Your child’s safety is always top of mind.
Easing Into a Full-Time Schedule
Not quite ready for full-time care? That’s okay—we’re here to help you ease into it. Many families start with a short drop-off, just a few hours, and gradually work up to a full day. This flexible approach can make the transition more comfortable for both children and parents. Of course, every child is different. Some families find that starting with their regular weekly schedule leads to a smoother and quicker adjustment. Remember, you can call anytime to check-in.
Bonus tip: Drop off your child’s supplies and complete any paperwork before their first day. With those details out of the way, you can give your full attention to your child.
Open Communication
We know that staying in touch matters. Before your child’s first day, you’ll download our Links 2 Home app, which keeps you connected throughout the day. You’ll receive updates about meals, naps, diaper changes, and activities, along with photos of your child. Parents especially love the real-time messaging feature. Forgot to mention something at drop-off? Need to check in midday? Just send a message, and we’ll be there. Of course, we’ll connect with you at drop-off and pick-up as well.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Returning to work is a big step, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We believe that strong school-family partnerships make all the difference in your child’s early experiences. With us, you’ll know your child is in a place where they’re nurtured, safe, and truly cared for – so you can focus on work when you need to. It’s all part of helping your family find the work-life balance that fits you best. To learn more, contact us today!
