Nurturing Beginnings for Your Little One

Welcoming an infant into early childhood education is a big step, and we’re here to make it a gentle, loving one. Our infant learning programs in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania focus on creating a calm, responsive environment where your baby’s physical, emotional, and cognitive needs are met with care. We believe that every moment is an opportunity for growth, and our nurturing approach ensures each baby receives attention, affection, and support during these critical early months.

Why Early Care Matters for Infants

Providing high-quality infant care during the earliest stages of life sets the foundation for a lifetime of learning and development. At Little Learners Literacy Academy, we create a safe and soothing atmosphere where infants can explore their world, build trust with caregivers, and reach developmental milestones at their own pace. With experienced staff, age-appropriate activities, and a strong focus on communication with families, our infant program supports not just your baby—but your entire parenting journey.

  • Emotional security through consistency – Caring, trained caregivers provide a predictable routine and warm interactions, helping infants build trust and feel safe
  • Cognitive stimulation from the start – From soft books to sensory play, infants are gently introduced to activities that support brain development and curiosity
  • Strong communication with families – We partner with parents daily to share feeding, diapering, sleep updates, and developmental progress, ensuring continuity of care at home and in the classroom
  • Developmentally appropriate routines – Our program follows each infant’s natural schedule for naps, meals, and play to respect their individual needs and rhythms
  • Support for motor skill milestones – Tummy time, guided movements, and safe space for crawling help infants gain strength, coordination, and confidence in their bodies

Frequently Asked Questions

How old do babies have to be to start daycare?

Infants can usually start as early as 6 weeks old, but some centers may prefer babies to be a bit older—around 3 months. It depends on the facility’s policies and licensing.

Is it safe to leave a baby at daycare?

Most infant daycares follow strict safety guidelines including secure entry systems, trained staff, and low caregiver-to-child ratios. We follow all safety requirements closely and maintain a calm, nurturing space.

What should I pack for my baby’s daycare day?

Most centers ask for diapers, wipes, bottles, a change of clothes, pacifiers, and comfort items. We’ll give a list so it’s easy to prepare.

How do I know if my baby is ready for daycare?

Look for signs like predictable sleep and feeding routines. We can help parents decide when the timing feels right and support that transition.

How do daycares keep parents updated about their baby?

Most infant care centers use daily reports, apps, or in-person updates to share info about feedings, naps, diaper changes, and activities.
