Professional quality care at a ratio of four children to one caregiver with never less than two caregivers on duty.

Building authentic relationships with infants is so important in providing high quality care. At The Cridge Centre Infant Centre caregivers will begin building a respectful relationship with you and your child from the first visit.   Responsible for feeding, toiletting, diapering, providing stimulating play, each caregiver is able to document your baby’s development and growth in a way that supports you as a parent.

Leaving a baby in group care is a huge decision for you as a parent.  There is a true security in knowing that a trained professional, working with a team, and with the resources of a large organization at their disposal are focussing their time, talent, training and energy to provide your infant with specialized and dedicated care.  As a parent, you know that the needs of your infant and the speed at which they change is astonishing.

Your child’s caregiver is well trained in the stages of infant development  and as important as it is for you to feel comfortable with that caregiver, it is equally important that your little one feels that same safety, security, and warmth.

We welcome you, encourage you and invite you to spend time with your little one in the infant care setting.  We want you to be a part of your infant’s experience here, and we want you to experience absolute transparency in every aspect of your child’s day.  You will see them talking to your child, singing and smiling and making eye contact.

Babies learn through play, and they are never too young to experience play in an age appropriate manner.  They will be read to, and they will experience through touch, sight, hearing, taste and smell.

Of course, cleanliness is a top priority with little people who explore their world using their hands and mouths, and toys, floors, tables, beds are cleaned daily..

Are you considering infant care for your little person?  It would be our privilege and delight to share this journey with you.

NOTE: The Cridge Centre for the Family Infant Care Program is highly sought after and there is a waiting list.  You are advised to consider submitting an application for enrolment as soon as possible after your infant is born.
