Infant Childcare Program in Okotoks
(12–19 Months)
Kinderhaven’s Infant Program provides a warm, nurturing, and responsive childcare environment for infants in Okotoks. We focus on meeting each child’s individual needs while supporting early physical, emotional, and cognitive development through Montessori-inspired, play-based learning.
Infant Program
Overview
At Kinderhaven, we understand that every infant and family is unique. Our Infant Program is designed to create a caring and trusting environment where babies feel safe, comforted, and supported from their very first day.
We take time to get to know each infant’s routines, habits, and preferences before they begin, working closely with parents to ensure a smooth transition from home to daycare.
Rather than adapting infants to a fixed schedule, we follow each child’s individual eating, sleeping, and activity rhythms within our classrooms.
Our educators build strong, trusting bonds with both infants and families, laying the foundation for healthy emotional development and secure attachments.
