Infants

Children are growing and adapting at rapid rates, so our staff is flexible and assesses each child individually. Placement in a specific program is based on developmental assessments—not only chronological age. Ages listed are guidelines; promotion to the next program is at the discretion of Crossroads Daycare and not necessarily tied to a birthday.

We know entrusting your infant to someone else’s care is a big step. Our infant program is rooted in love, affection, and consistent, responsive care—so your little one feels secure and known. We partner with families to honor each child’s rhythms; feeding, diapering, play, and sleep are followed per your plan and adjusted as your child grows. Communication stays open and frequent.

• Diapers & wipes: We keep plenty on hand; parents are welcome to supply preferred brands.
• Breastmilk & formula: Welcome; parents supply. All items are clearly labeled and handled per safe practices. Your director will cover specifics at your first meeting.
• Bottles: Prepared and served according to your plan and industry-safe handling; please label everything.
• Safety: CPR/First Aid certified staff, background-checked team, secure check-in/out.
• Communication: Brightwheel updates throughout the day, plus weekly newsletters and timely announcements.

• Back to sleep: Infants are placed on their backs to sleep unless medically directed otherwise.
• Individual cribs: Firm mattress with fitted sheet only. No blankets, pillows, or toys in the crib.
• Sleep sacks: Allowed per family preference.
• Swaddling: Permitted with parent consent until baby shows signs of rolling.
• Daily naps & rest: We follow your child’s cues and your plan. Family schedules don’t alter center routines; we’ll partner with you to keep naps consistent for the room.

Enrollment and classroom placement are finalized with our team after we connect briefly.
