Gabrielito’s Infant Program (6 Weeks to 1 Year)

  • Welcome

    At Gabrielito’s Daycare, we understand that the first year of life is a magical and transformative time for your little one. Our infant program is thoughtfully designed to provide a nurturing and secure environment where your child can grow, explore, and develop at their own pace. With a philosophy rooted in love, connection, and holistic care, we emphasize the importance of meeting your baby’s physical, emotional, and developmental needs while creating a sense of trust and belonging.

  • Our Philosophy

    We believe that every infant is unique and deserves individualized care that fosters a sense of safety and comfort. Through gentle interactions, responsive caregiving, and engaging sensory experiences, we help your baby develop their sense of self, strengthen their emotional bonds, and lay the foundation for lifelong learning. Our approach prioritizes nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and soul—to ensure your baby thrives in their earliest years.

  • How Our Curriculum Enhances Development

    Our infant curriculum aligns with our philosophy by focusing on age-appropriate sensory exploration, language exposure, and social-emotional connections. Activities like tummy time, soft music, and guided play stimulate cognitive and physical development while fostering curiosity. Through one-on-one interaction, such as storytelling, singing, and mirroring facial expressions, we support your child’s language development and emotional awareness. Daily routines like feeding, diapering, and napping are treated as opportunities for bonding and learning, helping your baby feel secure and valued.

Example Schedule for Infant Program

(6 Weeks to 1 Year)

Our infant schedule is flexible and adaptable to meet the individual needs of each child:

  • To ensure your baby is comfortable and well-cared for, we ask parents to supply the following:

    • Formula or breast milk

    • Bottles (labeled with your child’s name)

    • Diapers and wipes

    • Diaper creams

    • Weather-appropriate clothing

    • Multiple changes of clothes

    • Shoes (if needed)

    • Pacifiers (if used)

    • A blanket or sleep sack

    • Any additional comfort items

    All items will be labeled and stored exclusively for your child’s use at Gabrielito’s Daycare. We prioritize communication with families and welcome daily updates to ensure we meet your baby’s needs with love and care.

  • At Gabrielito’s Daycare, your baby’s safety and health are our top priorities. Our infant rooms are designed with safety in mind, featuring soft play areas, age-appropriate toys, and secure sleeping arrangements. We adhere to strict cleanliness protocols, sanitizing all surfaces, toys, and equipment daily. Diapering and feeding areas are cleaned after each use to prevent cross-contamination. Additionally, our experienced caregivers are trained in infant CPR and first aid, and all staff undergo extensive background checks to ensure the highest level of trust and care.

  • We understand that each baby has a unique feeding and sleeping schedule, and we work closely with parents to follow the routine that best suits their child. Whether your baby is breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or transitioning to solids, we ensure their individual needs are met with care and attention. Parents provide the necessary items such as formula, breast milk, or baby food, and all feeding times are documented for your review. For naps, we create a calm and soothing environment, with dim lighting and soft music, to help your baby rest comfortably. Caregivers will adhere to safe sleep guidelines, including placing infants on their backs in their cribs. We communicate daily updates to keep you informed about your baby’s feeding, sleeping, and overall well-being.
