Posy Community - Our Infant Program

Our Infant program offers a space for your infant to explore and developmentally grow safely. Our job as educators is to observe and serve every child and determine what each child needs to make the most significant progress.

Our Infant classroom has specially designed furniture that supports independence, including a pull-up bar, mirrors to reflect gross motor movement, individualized cribs, an infant Pikler Triangle, and tables with safety chairs. Each child has sets of their own cubbies containing their personal necessities, including diapers, creams, wipes, and also snacks.

We accommodate each child whether they breastfeed or bottle feed. We also have a refrigerator inside the classroom with the child’s food and milk labeled.

We compiled our frequently asked questions here. Please feel free to ask us about anything you need to know, so we can add more answers right here. Thanks in advance!

 Infants that are enrolled in our classroom can enroll at 6 weeks old and transition to our Toddler Community at 18 months old considering the social, emotional, and cognitive needs for each child.

Daily necessities such as, diapers, wipes, creams, milk, bottles, snacks, crib sheets, blanket/sleep sack, pacifier if needed, and weather appropriate extra clothes.

When weather permits, children will take walks in the stroller outside and enjoy outside activities within their playground area.

If your child is sick, we will contact you for pick up via phone call, your child may not return until fever and/or symptom free for 24hrs without medication. See the parent handbook for further information about our illness policy
