Infants
At Growing Room, your baby’s first year is filled with love, learning, and individualized attention. Our Growing Up On Our Block curriculum begins right here — in the infant stage — building a strong foundation for lifelong skills, trust, and curiosity.
THE CURRICULUM
Individualized Infant Care
Through our Primary Caregiver Program, each baby is paired with a dedicated caregiver who provides consistent, loving care. This caregiver works closely with both your child and your family, creating a smooth and supportive journey through infancy. Every day includes age-appropriate activities designed to encourage your baby’s natural growth and discovery.
We use the Active Learning for Infants curriculum in all infant classrooms. This approach helps children:
- Build a sense of who they are
- Discover what they can do
- Develop emotional awareness and confidence.
Our mission is to ensure every infant feels important, unique, and capable.
