Infant Care

A Gentle Start for Lifelong Security

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Responsive, Relationship-Based Care

At A Village Childcare, our infant program focuses on secure attachment and sensory exploration. We follow each baby’s natural rhythm with responsive care, floor time, music, and safe sleep routines.

You’ll never see babies stuck in swings or left to cry here. Our nurturing space is where your baby is seen, soothed, and supported every step of the way.

How We Support

Your Baby

Balancing Comfort with Gentle Routine

What we offer:

👶 Responsive Care
We follow your baby’s natural sleep and feeding schedule, offering plenty of cuddles, eye contact, and one-on-one attention.

🎶 Gentle Sensory Play
Soft music, baby-safe toys, board books, and tummy time encourage development without overstimulation.

🧠 Motor Milestones
From rolling and reaching to crawling and sitting, we create safe opportunities for babies to move and explore at their own pace.

🛏️ Safe, Peaceful Sleep
Each baby has their own crib or sleep space. We follow safe sleep guidelines and never practice cry-it-out.

Meet the Caregivers

Decades of Experience,

Every Cuddle Counts

Your baby will be cared for by a consistent, loving team with decades of infant experience.

  • Nicole, our lead infant caregiver, brings over 33 years of nurturing expertise.

  • Shelly, the owner, is a licensed provider with a calm, grounded approach.

  • We maintain low ratios for safety, bonding, and responsive care.

When you walk in, you'll always see familiar faces caring for your baby with patience and purpose.

Early Learning,

Gently Introduced

Even Our Littlest Learners Deserve Intention

We offer age-appropriate stimulation that supports brain development through:

  • Gentle music and movement

  • Sensory baskets and floor play

  • Books, songs, and language-rich moments

  • Building trust and security through connection

Our days are paced to honor your baby’s needs, not the clock.

Looking for a peaceful, nurturing start for your baby?

A Day in the Life

Rhythm, Not Rigidity

Infant days flow gently between care routines, sensory play, music, and rest.
While no two babies are the same, here’s a sample of what a day might look like:

  • Morning hellos & caregiver snuggles

  • Floor play with soft music

  • Feeding & one-on-one story time

  • Naps with dimmed lights and calming soundscapes

  • Sensory exploration with textures and rattles

  • Outdoor time in the shade (weather permitting)

  • Songs, books, and warm goodbyes

Our day is built around connection—not a ticking clock.

What Makes Our Infant Care Different?

We’re Not a Center. We’re a Village.

We know how hard it can be to leave your baby in someone else’s care. That’s why we emphasize bonding, trust, and communication. With over 16 years of experience in infant care, Shelly provides nurturing, home-based support that mirrors your routines and values.

Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, using formula, or combining approaches, we support it all with respect and care.
