Focus in the Infant Room

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

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

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.

Dublin Infant Care Diaper Changing

Children are changed every two hours if not otherwise specified or needed. Parents supply diapers, wipes, and diaper creams (as necessary) for their child. We also require parents to supply two packages of wipes each month.

What We Need

While in the Infant Room, parents will be required to provide several items for their child to use during the day.

Personal Items

Bottles for each feeding of the day (all bottles must have your child’s name and the date the bottle was made)
Extra Bottle & Formula/Breast milk
2 Packages of Wipes (due at the beginning of each month)
