The newborns are given a lot of attention and loving care. As their age permits, they spend their time in bouncy seats, swings, floor play and exersaucers. The teachers will provide you with written details about their day, including their eating and elimination. When a child has learned to crawl, or become mobile we move the child to our Infant Room I . Ms. Diane the lead teacher in the Newborn room has been with the school seven years.

PCDS knows that leaving your infant in the care of others can be very difficult. If space permits it may be helpful to you to leave your infant for a few hours a day or two before you must return to work full time. Please speak to Karol if you are interested (All enrollment paperwork must be completed first.)

You are welcome to visit your child at any time. You can also subscribe to the www.watchmegrow.com internet viewing service. Click here for details.

If you are breast feeding and would like to breast feed your baby at the school, please speak to Karol to make arrangements for your privacy.

Please provide baby wipes for your newborn in this classroom.
