Infant Care

At Balanced Family Academy, our infant care program is designed to give working parents peace of mind during the most important early months. Loving teachers provide attentive care, daily updates, healthy meals, and essentials like diapers and wipes, so your mornings feel easier and your baby feels safe, known, and nurtured every day.

Ratios Matter

Providing individualized attention and care when you need it most.

Your infant's safety and well-being are our top priorities. We maintain a low teacher-to-infant ratio of 1:3, with a maximum of 12 babies per classroom. This ensures that every child receives the individualized attention they need to feel secure, develop trust, and thrive in a nurturing environment.

Your Baby's First Bites

Building a foundation for healthy eating habits

Our on-site chefs prepare fresh purees for our infants and solids for our older children, using wholesome and nutritious ingredients. We introduce a variety of fruits and vegetables to ensure that your baby gets a balanced diet and is exposed to a range of flavors and textures with the hope that they will continue to grow into healthy, adventurous eaters.
