Infants (0 - 12ms)
Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our center—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and ready to explore their world. Your baby is ready to socialize, learn, and practice a little independence! At Malvern Academy, we meet this moment by providing a safe and nurturing place for your little one to do all of that—and more. Plus, we give grownups like you, peace of mind that your child is right where they belong. Our classrooms, curriculum, and industry-leading health and safety practices offer more than daycare.
