Infant Care in Marysville, Ohio
Infant Nursery School: 6 weeks to 18 months
At Advantage Early Learning Academy, we help our infants and toddlers develop in ways that give them the comfort and confidence to grow and develop both cognitively and socially in a super fun and engaging way.
Your child’s exciting educational journey gets off to a strong start in the Advantage infant room. Studies have shown that the brain develops more in the first three years of life than at any other point in human development. For this reason, and countless others, each moment in Advantage’s infant child care program is intentionally planned-out to ensure your baby is making the most of this period of rapid cognitive, emotional, and physical growth.
We recognize creating a supportive partnership as you leave your baby in our child daycare program is a priority. Our infant programs are designed to make the transition between home and school smooth and enjoyable for the whole family. Individualized schedules, nurturing primary caregivers, and safe classrooms will ensure your infant’s days are fun and enriching.
Your child’s full development is our primary focus. So, our little ones are far from idle all day. They actively explore the world around them during their waking hours. We present them with books and age-appropriate toys to stimulate their minds, let them bask in the fresh air as they sway in baby swings or frolic on a cozy blanket laid on the grass. They can even partake in music enrichment alongside their teachers… after all, which baby doesn’t adore shaking a maraca!
We have three infant rooms with one dedicated teacher to every five infants.
