Choosing infant care is the hardest child care decision most parents make. Your baby cannot tell you how the day went, so you have to trust the room, the routine and the people. Here is exactly how the infant room works at Sunny Pointe Childcare Center on Fry Road in Northville.
One Teacher for Every Three Babies
Our infant room runs at a ratio of one teacher to three babies. That means every baby gets close, individual attention from a teacher who knows them.
A Very Experienced Infant Team
Our infant teachers are private people, so we will not name them here, but their experience speaks for itself. One has been caring for infants at Sunny Pointe for 30 years, since the center’s early days. Our other main infant teacher has been with us for about nine years. You will meet both of them when you visit.
Safe Sleep, Every Nap
- Babies are placed on their backs to sleep.
- Each baby sleeps in their own crib with a clear sleep space.
- Sleep sacks are welcome, and our teachers make sure they meet safe-sleep requirements.
- Infant teachers monitor babies throughout naps.
What Parents Bring
Every baby eats differently, so parents provide their baby’s food. Please bring:
- Breast milk or formula, and bottles
- Baby food or solids, once your baby has started them
- Diapers and wipes
- Diaper cream, if your baby needs it
- A sleep sack, if you would like to use one
A Gentle Start: The Week Before
We ask infant families to come in the week before their baby’s start date. Bring your supplies, introduce your baby to the teachers and spend some time in the room together. Your baby gets familiar with new faces and a new space, and you get time to ask every question before the first real day.
Staying Connected During the Day
We have cameras in our classrooms for safety and security, but we do not offer outside live viewing. A public feed would let strangers watch other families’ babies. Instead, message the room through our parent app and staff will send you a photo or a short video of your baby.
