Infant Care Program | 0 - 12 months | Lilac City Early Learning Center in Spokane, WA

At Lilac City Early Learning Center, our Infant Care program supports babies with responsive, relationship-based caregiving rooted in Conscious Discipline. We maintain 1:4 ratios in every infant classroom, well above state minimums, so teachers can attune to each baby's cues, build secure attachment, and support early communication and motor development in a calm, nurturing environment.

Program Overview

Responsive, Relationship-Based Care From Day One

Our infant classrooms are grounded in Conscious Discipline, where teachers attune to each baby's cues to build trust, comfort, and early communication. Because infancy is such a foundational, sensitive period, our responsive approach means every routine and transition is designed to help babies feel safe, seen, and secure, not just cared for.

Cultivating Curiosity

Sensory-Rich Exploration, Guided by Frog Street

We use Frog Street Curriculum in our infant classrooms because it's built around how babies actually learn, through touch, movement, sound, and connection. Soft textures, gentle movement, music, and visual stimulation give infants meaningful opportunities to explore and develop fine and gross motor skills in a safe, thoughtfully prepared setting.
