Caring for infants as young as six weeks of age is a tremendous responsibility. We take that responsibility very seriously. We have spent years developing an infant program that is well thought out. Every detail has been meticulously planned from the design of the infant center, to the selection of equipment, toys, curriculum and activities, to the screening and training of infant caregivers.
Parents can rely on our loving, dedicated staff of infant caregivers, chosen for their warmth and affectionate personalities. They provide nurturing, age appropriate stimulation and lots of love.
Infant rooms are packed with toys and equipment similar to the toys and equipment you have at home for your baby. Caregivers sit on gliders while holding, cuddling and feeding our little ones. There is even a private nursing station for Moms. The Learning Experience® (TLE) Infant Centers are immaculate, colorful, well-equipped, safe environments. Parents feel self-assured and confident that their infant is being cared for in the most loving way.

Music, including classical, is played in the infant center daily. Recent studies have shown the enhanced effect of music on babies. They say music unlocks the creative spirit and strengthens the mind.

Keeping the infant environment sanitized and disinfected is important and we have put definitive procedures in place to insure cleanliness. Staff is required to adhere to all sanitary measures. Toys and cribs are disinfected nightly. Changing tables are disinfected after each individual diaper is changed. Caregivers are required to wear gloves and place a specially designed sanitary paper on the changing pad before each baby's diaper is changed. Diapers are placed in plastic bags before being deposited in a lined diaper pail which is emptied several times a day.
Each baby has his or her own crib. Cribs are NEVER shared at TLE. Parents are asked to place their shoes in a personal "shoe cubby" at the infant center entrance so that they can quickly slip on a foot cover before entering the infant center. Infant caregivers are required to wear TLE hospital scrubs. Infant caregivers never wear street clothes when caring for our infants.
Nightly reports are ready for parents at pick-up time. They reflect in detail, everything that went on during the day, including new and exciting developments, diaper changes and feedings. These reports, known as Baby Talk are invaluable to busy parents.
