Your Baby’s First Community: What Sets Our Infant Care Apart

A Day in Safari Kid’s Infant Program: What You & Your Child Can Expect

We understand that each family has unique routines and preferences. That is why at our infant daycare in Mountain House, your baby's personal feeding, nap, and care routines are carefully respected and communicated with you each day.

Here are examples of what your baby will experience throughout the day:

  • Cuddle time and responsive attention that nurture trust and bonding
  • Engaging sensory and floor play to encourage physical and cognitive growth
  • Music, songs, and story time to support early language and communication
  • Gentle outdoor walks and observation of the world, weather permitting
  • Consistent routines for feeding, diapering, and naps for security and comfort

Our educators carefully observe and document milestones, then share insights with you so you always feel included in your child's development. We prioritize health, hygiene, and safety every step of the way, from food preparation to toy sanitation and daily room care.

How We Partner With Families: Communication & Progress

Building trust with families starts with open, honest communication. We use the Procare app to keep parents informed with photos, daily activity notes, and real-time updates. This keeps you connected to your baby's experience and reassures you during your workday.

Ways we keep families connected and involved include:

  • Sharing detailed daily reports and highlighting developmental achievements
  • Frequent conversations at drop-off and pick-up, or by request
  • Inviting parents to scheduled meetings and family events
  • Welcoming ongoing feedback and adapting care as your child's needs change

Our goal is for every family to feel heard and included, creating a true partnership in your baby’s care.

At Safari Kid of Mountain House, enrichment is part of every child's day, not something reserved for a select few. Our infant care program introduces babies to music through singing, basic instruments, and rhythmic movement. These experiences foster listening, coordination, and a love of language.

We bring enrichment to the infant classroom with activities like:

  • Safe sensory art with textures, colors, and gentle painting
