At Juniperhaven Preschool, our Infant Room is designed to feel like a home away from home. We welcome babies starting at 3 months old and care for them until they are developmentally ready to transition.
We maintain a 1:4 teacher-to-child ratio, with no more than 8 infants in the classroom at one time. Our teachers are trained in safe sleep, infant CPR, and early childhood development. Juniperhaven is a licensed certified center.
Our top priority is to ensure that every infant feels safe, seen, and loved each day through gentle routines, warm interactions, and consistent care from trusted adults.

We don’t believe in rushing milestones, rather we honor each baby’s unique pace. Our play-based philosophy means infants explore their world through sensory-rich materials, curiosity-driven discovery, and age-appropriate activities.
In our Infant Room, we use:
All activities are spontaneous and child-led, grounded in the belief that play is the best teacher.
Infants nap on their own schedule and are fed on demand. Our teachers follow state-approved safe sleep practices, including back sleeping and individual cribs or pack-and-plays.Babies at this facility nap on demand and are fed on demand with provided labeled formula or breast milk. Naps occur in a quiet, dimly lit space with white noise, and families can provide sleep sacks or personal blankets for children over one year old. All sleep practices adhere to state safe sleep guidelines, including babies sleeping on their backs in individual cribs or pack-and-plays.
We know how important it is to stay connected to your baby’s day. That’s why we provide real-time updates through the Lillio app, including:
This transparency keeps you informed and helps foster trust and consistency between home and school.
Our teachers use American Sign Language (ASL) to help babies begin communicating before they speak. Infants learn simple signs like:

Your infant will remain in the Infant Room until they are developmentally ready to move into our One’s Room. Most children transition in September after their first birthday, or earlier if a spot becomes available and your child is ready. We take emotional, social, and physical readiness into account to ensure a positive and gentle transition.
