I do everything I can to bond with your baby and develop trust through simple games like peekaboo, singing, and reading.

Baby Schedule
Our little ones' schedules differ greatly from those of our toddlers and even one-year-old infants. We follow the individual schedule suggested by parents for babies under the age of one year. We collaborate with parents to ensure that the feeding and napping times chosen are the best fit for the baby. When baby is ready, we use a smooth and comfortable transition to start napping twice a day, then once a day as they grow.
