INFANT CARE IN ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA gentle beginning

A Nurturing Start for Your Littlest Learner.

Those first months are filled with big changes, tiny milestones and lots of firsts. Tadpole Prep provides a warm early learning environment where infants can feel safe, cared for and known as they begin experiencing the world around them.

Starting at 6 Weeks

Care Built Around Your Baby.

Every infant has their own rhythms, preferences and personality. Our goal is to create a calm, responsive environment where babies have room to rest, play, connect and discover at their own pace.

Responsive Care

Warm, attentive interaction helps infants feel secure and supported throughout the day.

Individual Rhythms

Infants grow and change quickly. Care should recognize each child's individual routines and needs.

Early Exploration

Simple sensory experiences, movement, songs, books and play introduce babies to the world around them.

Relationships First

Consistent, caring interactions help create the foundation for trust, communication and connection.

What Infant Care Can Look Like.

Infant days do not always follow a perfect clock — and that's okay. This stage is built around individual needs, care routines and opportunities for connection and exploration.

  • Comfort & Care
  • Feeding
  • Rest
  • Floor Play
  • Songs & Stories
  • Sensory Exploration
  • Outdoor Fresh Air When Appropriate
  • Parent Communication

These are areas of the day rather than a fixed schedule — every baby's day looks a little different.

Staying Connected Matters.

Parents should never feel disconnected from their baby's day. Clear communication helps families and teachers work together as little ones grow, change and reach new milestones.

When you tour Tadpole Prep, ask us how infant-room communication works and what you can expect throughout the day.

The People Caring for Your Baby Matter.
