A familiar face. A thoughtful response. Room to discover.
Belonging begins here
Responsive care
Every care moment matters.
A feeding, a diaper change, and a quiet moment in someone’s arms are opportunities for connection. Teachers listen to babies’ sounds and movements, respond to what they communicate, and give them time to participate in the moment.
Consistent, familiar caregivers get to know the small details that make each child feel secure.
01
Known as themselves
We learn how your baby asks for comfort, what catches their attention, and how they prefer to settle into a new space.
02
Care with conversation
Teachers talk, sing, make eye contact, and leave room for babies to respond in their own ways.
03
A partnership with home
Families share routines, preferences, and changes. Teachers share the moments and patterns they notice during the day.
In the smallest moments, a child is learning whether the world will answer.
We want the answer to be yes.
Active learning starts early
Wonder is already at work.
An infant reaches, studies a face, rolls toward a sound, or feels the breeze outdoors. Teachers make space for those discoveries and notice what each baby wants to try next.
Move freely
Safe floor space and attentive adults let babies practice movement at their own pace, from reaching and rolling to crawling and standing.
Feel and notice
Thoughtfully chosen materials invite babies to touch, look, listen, and discover what their actions can do.
Meet the outdoors
Fresh air, changing light, leaves, sounds, and seasons give even the youngest children a connection to the living world.
Infants do not need a preschool timetable. Teachers respond to each child’s needs for feeding, rest, play, and connection throughout the day.
Within that individual rhythm, there is room for a warm welcome, unhurried care, sensory discovery, and time outdoors. We use HighScope’s active-learning approach to support the way babies investigate and form relationships.
Arrive and reconnectWe hear what’s new at home and help your baby settle with a familiar person.
Care and nourishmentFeeding and caregiving follow your baby’s cues and your family’s shared plan.
Explore and moveBabies have time on the floor, access to interesting materials, and responsive adults nearby.
Rest and begin againSleep, comfort, and play are woven around individual needs rather than a single group schedule.
You know your baby best
We make room for your voice.
Starting care is a big transition for the whole family. Tell us what soothes your child, what you are noticing, and what you hope we will understand about them. Our teachers build on that knowledge as they get to know your baby.
Brightwheel helps families stay connected to updates from the day. The important conversations continue in person, too.
Our team will discuss your baby’s current routine and your family’s preferences with you. Care is responsive to each child, and we follow safe sleep practices. Ask about the classroom’s specific process during your visit.
How will I hear about my baby’s day?
Teachers share day-to-day updates through Brightwheel and talk with you about the moments, changes, and questions that matter.
Which schools offer infant care?
Our five family-facing schools offer care from infancy through Pre-K: Madison Heights, Macomb, Clawson, Huntington Woods, and Hazel Park. Our enrollment team can confirm the right classroom and current openings.
When will I learn about tuition and schedules?
Send an inquiry through Line Leader. Our enrollment team will discuss tuition, schedule options, meals, closures, and availability for the school you are considering when they follow up.
