Your Baby Deserves Loving Care and Personal Attention

Finding the right infant care program means choosing a place that understands your baby's unique needs. At The Wonder Years Academy, we know that these early months are crucial for development and bonding. We've designed our infant program to support every milestone with thoughtful care and dedicated staff. 


Your little one will benefit from:

  • Secure facility with keypad entry and approved access
  • Individual attention tailored to your baby's schedule
  • Interactive music experiences through our Sing-A-Song Program
  • Flexible scheduling to accommodate your family
  • Family-friendly atmosphere where you're treated like our own

We've built lasting relationships with families throughout Fanwood by consistently delivering compassionate, reliable care you can count on.

Age-Appropriate Learning for Every Toddler Stage

Toddlers 1 (15 Months-2 Years) focuses on helping children navigate their first major milestone of independence. As toddlers become mobile and eager to explore, they learn through play, discovery, and age-appropriate activities that support hand-eye coordination, motor development, communication, and problem-solving skills. Our self-contained classrooms provide a safe, engaging environment designed specifically for active learners.


Toddlers 2 (2-2.5 Years) builds on these foundational skills with a holistic approach to early childhood education. Children participate in activities that strengthen cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development while encouraging curiosity and creativity. Through cooperative play, vocabulary-building exercises, story time, sensory experiences, and outdoor activities, toddlers develop the confidence and skills needed for continued success. Predictable routines and self-help opportunities further promote independence and a sense of security.

Age-Appropriate Learning Every Step of the Way

Pre-School 1 (Ages 2.5-3) introduces children to a more structured educational experience. Daily circle time helps reinforce letters, numbers, colors, and shapes, while small-group instruction allows teachers to focus on art, sensory activities, and fine motor development. Children are also encouraged to build independence and begin developing toilet-readiness skills.


Pre-School 2 (Ages 3-4) expands on these foundational skills through small-group learning, story time, language arts, science, math, and creative art activities. Children enjoy daily outdoor play on our turf playground and develop gross motor skills through active exploration. They are also encouraged to strengthen their "I can do it" attitude by practicing important independent skills, such as cleaning up after meals and managing their own nap-time routines.

Infant Care Designed Around Your Baby's Needs

At The Wonder Years Academy, our infant room serves as a true home away from home for children ages 6 weeks to 15 months. Every day begins in a calm, loving, and welcoming environment where babies receive individualized attention from caring professionals who understand the importance of these early developmental stages.


Our infant program is thoughtfully designed to support your child's growth, comfort, and routine through:

  • Designated primary caregiver providing consistent, personalized daily care
  • Creative Curriculum® infant program supporting early development
  • Regular developmental assessments and parent updates
  • Daily tummy time and guided play that support developmental milestones
  • Personalized feeding schedules tailored to your child's routine
  • Individual cribs with Kolcraft Pure Sleep Therapeutic Crib Mattresses
  • Infant First Aid and CPR-certified caregivers
  • Bright, naturally lit classroom with dedicated infant spaces
  • Private infant kitchenette for organized mealtimes
  • Real-time updates through the ProCare app on naps, meals, activities, and diaper changes
  • WatchMeGrow camera access for anytime check-ins
  • Clean, organized, self-contained environment designed for infants

To help families transition comfortably into child care, we also offer a unique enrollment transition program. We understand how emotional those first drop-offs can be, which is why we provide additional support to help both parents and babies adjust confidently to their new routine. Families consistently share positive feedback about this personalized approach, helping create a smooth and reassuring start to their child's care experience.

What to Bring for Your Infant

To help your child settle comfortably into our infant program, we ask families to provide a few essential items. Please ensure all belongings are clearly labeled with your child's name.


Items needed to get started include:

  • Five sets of seasonally appropriate clothing changes
  • Two standard-size crib sheets
  • Bibs for feeding and teething
  • Diapers, wipes, and ointments
  • Labeled bottles, bottle tops, milk, and baby food
