Learning to Explore Their World

Infants | 6 Weeks to Mobile

Safe. Nurturing. Full of discovery.

At the Y, we help your baby feel at home. Our teachers follow your child’s sleep and feeding schedule, creating comfort and consistency.

Your little one will explore through gentle play—grasping rings, rolling on soft blankets, and making toys squeak. Every activity supports early learning and development.

We offer safe spaces for both non-mobile and crawling infants, giving each child the freedom to explore and grow at their own pace.
