A safe, nurturing space for your baby’s first big steps in life.

Our infant care program in Brooklyn, New York provides care to children ages 0-12 months. Children are vulnerable during their infant years. Hence, we provide them with a nurturing environment that promotes feelings of belongingness and loving care. We want every child to grow and develop into the best version of themselves. At BARBEY PREP, we take into account each child’s unique abilities, emotions, and needs to help them achieve developmental milestones.

What Your Baby Will Learn

Every moment is a learning opportunity. Our infant curriculum is thoughtfully designed to support your baby’s growth across key developmental areas. With a blend of play, interaction, and nurturing care, we help your child build the foundational skills they need to thrive now and in the future. Our program curriculum will reinforce the following skills:

  • Cognitive Skills
    Through songs, baby talk, storytime, and one-on-one conversations, we help your baby recognize sounds, build listening skills, and begin to express their wants and needs using coos, gestures, and facial expressions.
  • Communication Skills
    Emotional security starts here. With consistent caregiver bonding, comforting routines, and responsive care, we help your baby begin to understand feelings, build trust, and develop emotional resilience.
  • Emotional Skills
    From grasping soft toys to reaching for rattles, we help strengthen your baby’s hand-eye coordination and finger movement, paving the way for holding objects, feeding themselves, and writing later on.
  • Fine Motor Skills
    Fine motor skills involve the coordination of small muscles in the hands and fingers, enabling tasks such as grasping, writing, buttoning, cutting, and feeding. We support these skills which are essential for daily independence and academic or professional success.
  • Gross Motor Skills
    We support physical development through tummy time, rolling, crawling, and assisted standing. These essential movements help build strength, balance, and coordination for future walking and running.
  • Social Skills
    Even at this young age, babies are learning how to connect with others. Our nurturing environment encourages smiles, shared attention, and early social interaction that help your child feel seen, valued, and ready to engage with the world.

Frequently Asked Question

What does infant care include in daycare?
Infant care in daycare focuses on nurturing babies typically from 6 weeks to 12 months old. It includes feeding support, diapering, nap time, and age-appropriate sensory and motor activities. Caregivers provide a safe and stimulating environment that promotes healthy growth and early development while ensuring comfort and security.
How do daycare centers keep infants safe?
Daycare centers maintain infant safety by using secure cribs, monitoring sleeping infants closely, following strict hygiene protocols, and childproofing the environment. Caregivers are trained in infant CPR and emergency procedures, and group sizes are kept small to ensure each baby receives attentive care and protection.
What is the ideal caregiver-to-infant ratio?
The ideal caregiver-to-infant ratio is usually one caregiver for every three to four infants. This low ratio allows caregivers to provide personalized attention, respond quickly to individual needs, and create a calm and nurturing atmosphere that supports infants’ emotional and physical well-being.
How do daycare programs support infant development?
Daycare programs support infant development through activities like tummy time, sensory play, gentle music, and interactive talking or reading. These activities promote motor skills, sensory awareness, language acquisition, and social engagement, helping infants reach key milestones in a loving and responsive environment.
What should parents expect from an infant daycare’s daily routine?
Parents can expect infant daycare routines to include feeding (breast milk or formula), diaper changes, naps in safe cribs, and short periods of play or interaction. Caregivers usually follow each infant’s individual schedule and provide regular updates to parents about their baby’s day and development.
