Focus in the Infant Room
Arrow

The infant room at Dublin Learning Academy is committed to consistency between home and school. The goal of our Dublin, OH infant care teachers is to work closely with the parents to understand and follow their desired schedule.

Parents will complete a Student Profile detailing: eating, sleeping, and other specifics regarding how they want their child’s day to flow. Since things change so quickly at this age, parents are encouraged to update profile sheets as needed.

Infants thrive at Dublin Learning Academy because our teachers bring expertise in the area of infant development and a passion for partnering with parents to offer consistency and love.

What We Do

Dublin Infant Care Nutrition
Arrow

Nutrition is an important element of each child’s healthy development. We use bottles and breastmilk or formula provided from home. This gives the child consistency in their nutrition while giving you control over their early nutritional requirements.

Our infant room welcomes parents who wish to nurse or stop in to facilitate feedings. As foods are introduced, parents can also provide food and snacks to build a nutrition plan that is best for their child.

Dublin Infant Care Play Time
Arrow

We provide a wide variety of toys and equipment for your child to use while in infant care. This includes carpet and water mats for “tummy time” and bouncy chairs, floor gyms, swings, and exersaucers to help with developmental milestones. Infants also participate in story time and sensory play while having a safe place to learn and explore!

Dublin Infant Care Nap Time

Rest is a vital part of every child’s healthy development. Infants nap frequently, and our infant care teachers work with families to establish individual nap schedules for each child. We ask that parents provide crib sheets and a blanket/sleep sac weekly, which you will need to clean and return at the beginning of the following week.
