Infant Care Program (6 Weeks to 12 Months)
Nurturing Beginnings for Lifelong Learning
At Puzzles Academy, our Infant Care Program is where the journey of learning and development begins. From the very first days of life, infants are rapidly building connections—forming trust, engaging with the world through their senses, and laying the foundation for cognitive, physical, and emotional development.
Our approach to infant care goes far beyond basic supervision. We focus on intentional, responsive, and individualized care that supports each infant’s unique developmental path in a secure, loving environment.
A Purpose-Driven Environment for Infant Development

Learning Models in Action with Infants
At this early stage, our teaching team integrates key elements from several of our core learning models to support infant development:
Reggio Emilia-Inspired Environment
Even our youngest learners benefit from a rich, aesthetically inviting environment. Infants explore light, textures, sound, and movement, and are encouraged to engage with the world around them in ways that spark wonder and curiosity.
Montessori Principles
We honor the innate capability of each child to be an active participant in their own learning. Through safe, accessible materials and opportunities for choice and movement, infants begin developing independence and confidence—even before they can walk or talk.
Conscious Discipline
Our caregivers practice responsive caregiving rooted in emotional connection. By consistently meeting the needs of infants with warmth and presence, we help them build secure attachments, trust in their environment, and the earliest foundation of emotional regulation.
The Puzzles Difference: Early Learning with Heart
Infants at Puzzles Academy are not just cared for—they are known, nurtured, and celebrated. We recognize that families are trusting us with their greatest treasure, and we take that responsibility to heart.
Our goal is to provide an enriching start that sets the stage for joyful exploration and lifelong learning. We believe that when infants feel safe, seen, and supported, their potential is limitless.
