Infants
We understand it's difficult to place your infant in a daycare after months of spending one on one time with each other. However, here at ABC Garden Group family daycare we aim to not only support you in the transition but also make it as smooth as possible for you and your child.
Our teachers aim to not only provide your child with a loving, caring, positive and supportive environment but also provide them with the freedom to develop their gross motor skills! Such as grasping, crawling, walking, climbing and playing. Here at ABC Garden we work hard to ensure working collaboratively with parents to help our children succeed and meet every milestone for their age.

We ensure that our teachers pay close attention to each baby's individual needs and follow the feeding and napping schedules provided by the parents/Guardian.
Each infant has their own playpen. When the infant gets sleepy they are placed to sleep on their backs inside of their individual playpen.
