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
Safe and loving infant care is not only our priority but a promise. Through our Primary Caregiver Program, each infant 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 infant’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.

From birth, the most important developmental milestone is learning to trust. In our infant care program, your infant will.
