Your Baby’s First Year with Us

Every baby has their own rhythm — this is a sample day, not a rigid timetable.

• 7:30–8:30 AM — Arrival & bonding with their primary caregiver
• 8:30–9:00 AM — Morning feeding (breast milk, formula, or solids)
• 9:00–9:45 AM — Sensory play & tummy time with natural materials
• 9:45–11:00 AM — Morning nap on their own rhythm
• 11:00–11:30 AM — Mid-morning feeding
• 11:30 AM–12:15 PM — Outdoor time — blanket play, sensory walks
• 12:15–12:45 PM — Lunch (organic, age-appropriate)
• 12:45–3:00 PM — Afternoon nap
• 3:00–3:30 PM — Feeding & calm play
• 3:30–4:30 PM — Songs, crawling courses, or outdoor time
• 4:30–5:30 PM — Wind-down & pick-up — your caregiver shares the day's highlights

We follow your feeding plan exactly — and adapt as your baby grows.

• 0–6 months: Breast milk or formula on your baby's schedule. We store and prepare everything following safe handling guidelines.
• 6–9 months: Single-ingredient organic purees — sweet potato, avocado, banana, peas — all house-made from fresh ingredients. One new food at a time.
• 9–12 months: Soft finger foods join the menu — steamed veggie sticks, small pasta, ripe fruit. Your baby starts eating alongside other children at a low table.

All meals are organic, house-made, and adapted to your baby's stage and any allergies.

Yes. Your baby gets one dedicated caregiver who learns their cues, cries, and comfort signals until it's second nature. No rotating staff, no unfamiliar faces. This consistency is especially critical in the first year — babies thrive when they can predict who will respond to them.

Activities match where your baby is developmentally:

• 0–3 months: High-contrast visual cards, gentle massage, narrated caregiving, simple mobiles
• 3–6 months: Treasure baskets with natural materials (wood, fabric, pine cones), floor mirrors, texture stations
• 6–9 months: Soft crawling obstacle courses, baby sign language ("more," "milk," "all done"), nesting cups, supervised water play
• 9–12 months: Push toys, shape sorters, finger painting, outdoor nature walks — touching leaves, bark, stones

Wood, cotton, metal, glass — real textures teach real things. A smooth wooden ring feels different from a cool metal spoon or a soft cotton cloth. These varied sensory experiences are exactly what developing brains need. Our shelves are intentional, not overflowing — every item has a purpose.

With just a few babies in our care, every child gets the kind of focused, unhurried attention that simply isn't possible in larger centers. Small group size means your baby's caregiver can respond immediately — no waiting, no competing for attention.
