INFANT CARE
Our program offers a warm, welcoming environment where your baby can grow from a tiny tot to a toddler full of curiosity. As your baby's primary caregiver we are nurturing child development professionals who are focused on creating experiences and opportunities that invite exploration and support the rapid and important development that is occurring in a child's first year.
At Dinky’s Child Care we are focused on keeping your baby happy, engaged, and secure. We personalize care for each infant based on his or her unique schedule, nutritional guidelines, and any other special attention he/she requires. Warm and nurturing interactions with caregivers, in a home-like environment for learning, individualized attention and experiences.
