Child Care for Infants & Toddlers

• Care offered for infants beginning at 6 weeks of age
• Nurturing environment
• The goal is for each infant to be assigned a primary caregiver who interacts with him/her most of the time, who knows the baby's daily routine, and what can keep him/her smiling and happy.
• Changing nutritional needs of infants are addressed on an individual basis in consultation with parents. Great effort is taken to ensure safety in the preparation and serving of food and bottles.
• When parents are ready for their child to begin potty training, St. Luke caregivers work with the parents so that as much as possible potty training is done the same at home and school.
• Stroller rides to our fish aquarium and on the playground.
