INFANTS - Elmhurst Premier Childcare

early learning begins at infancy

At Elmhurst Premier Childcare, we believe learning begins at birth.

Our classrooms provide meaningful early learning experiences through:
• sensory exploration
• music and movement
• tummy time and gross motor development
• language-rich interaction
• social connection and bonding
• fine motor exploration
• storytelling and communication
• responsive play-based learning

These early experiences help support cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development while encouraging curiosity, confidence, and connection.

responsive caregiving & individualized Attention

We understand every infant has unique routines, developmental needs, and comfort preferences.

Our caregivers work closely with families to support:
• feeding schedules
• naps and sleep routines
• diapering and daily care
• developmental milestones
• transitions to solids
• emotional comfort and bonding
• individualized routines and communication

We believe strong parent partnerships and consistent communication are essential during the infant years and our infant program takes pride in those partnerships.

Educated Teachers & Strong Parent Communication

We believe children deserve knowledgeable, nurturing caregivers during these critical developmental years.

Our educators are required to come to us with childcare experience along with either:
• a degree in early childhood education or a related field
OR
• a commitment to obtaining professional early childhood certification through a CDA or CCP credential program.

Families receive daily updates through our secure parent communication app, including:
• feedings
• naps
• diapering updates
• photos and classroom moments
• developmental milestones
• important communication and reminders

We strive to ensure families feel informed, connected, and confident throughout their child’s day.

more than traditional daycare

At Elmhurst Premier Childcare, we believe infant care should be intentional, nurturing, relationship-driven, and focused on the whole child.

Our boutique approach to early childhood education allows us to provide meaningful care, strong communication, educated teachers, structured environments, and hands-on early learning experiences that help infants build the foundation for lifelong growth, learning, and emotional security.

Heated Floors & Comfortable Environments

One of the unique features of Elmhurst Premier Childcare is our heated infant and toddler classroom flooring, designed to help create a warm, comfortable environment for floor play, tummy time, exploration, and movement during these important developmental stages.

We intentionally create classroom spaces that are clean, organized, calming, and developmentally appropriate for young learners.

Why the Infant Years Matter

The infant years are some of the most important stages of a child’s growth and development. During this time, children are rapidly developing emotionally, socially, cognitively, physically, and neurologically through everyday interactions, relationships, movement, communication, and exploration.

At Elmhurst Premier Childcare, we believe learning begins at birth.

The earliest experiences children have help shape:
• emotional security and attachment
• communication and language development
• confidence and self-awareness
• sensory and motor development
• social connection and trust
• curiosity and exploration
• brain development and early learning foundations

Infants learn through responsive caregiving, meaningful interactions, nurturing relationships, movement, sensory experiences, and consistent routines. Loving, attentive educators help children feel safe, comforted, supported, and confident as they begin exploring the world around them.

Our classrooms are intentionally designed to provide calm, structured, low-chaos environments where infants can safely grow, explore, and develop through individualized care and developmentally appropriate experiences.

We understand the trust families place in us during these important years, and we are committed to providing an infant program that is a nurturing, emotionally responsive environment where children feel secure, valued, and genuinely cared for each day.

At Elmhurst Premier Childcare, we believe the foundation built during infancy plays an important role in helping children develop confidence, resilience, relationships, and a lifelong love of learning.
