A Warm Start to a Lifetime of Learning
The infant years are a time of extraordinary growth. At Happy Hearts, we create a calm, nurturing environment where babies can feel safe, build trusting relationships and discover the world around them.

Ages 6 Weeks – 18 Months
NURTURED WITH CARE
Every Baby Is Unique
No two babies develop in exactly the same way.
Our educators take the time to learn each child's individual patterns, preferences and cues. Feeding, sleeping, diapering and transitions are approached with patience and consistency while allowing room for each child's changing needs.
As your baby grows, we adapt our care and experiences to support their emerging abilities.
“We follow your baby's individual rhythm while providing a familiar and reassuring daily routine.”

A WORLD MADE FOR EXPLORATION
Thoughtfully Designed for Little Learners
Our infant spaces are designed to encourage safe movement, discovery and interaction. Age-appropriate materials are carefully selected and arranged so babies can gradually engage with their environment and develop new skills through hands-on exploration.
Every interaction with their environment is an opportunity to learn.
DISCOVERING THROUGH THE SENSES
Learning Begins With Experience
Babies understand their world by seeing, hearing, touching, moving and observing. We offer simple, engaging experiences that allow infants to explore their surroundings using all of their senses.
Sensory Exploration
Safe materials with different textures, shapes and properties.
Music & Sound
Songs, rhythm, voices and age-appropriate instruments.
Movement
Opportunities for reaching, rolling, crawling, standing and other developmental movements.
Books & Language
Stories, conversations, songs and everyday interactions that encourage early communication.
Nature & Discovery
Opportunities to observe light, plants, weather and the natural world.
CONNECTION IS THE FOUNDATION
Relationships That Help Children Feel Secure
Before children can confidently explore, they need to know that they are safe and cared for.
Our educators build meaningful relationships through warm interactions, responsive communication and consistent care.
We talk with babies, listen to their sounds and gestures, respond to their cues and provide comfort when they need it.
These everyday interactions help children develop:
A strong relationship is where early learning begins.
Mealtimes & Nutrition
Feeding is an important part of an infant's day and an opportunity to build positive routines.
We work closely with families to understand each child's feeding needs while supporting their transition through different stages of development.
Outdoor Experiences
When weather and conditions permit, infants have opportunities for fresh air, movement and age-appropriate outdoor exploration. They may notice the sounds of birds, feel the breeze, observe plants and trees — even a simple outdoor experience can spark curiosity.
OUR DAILY RHYTHM
Consistent, Flexible & Child-Centred
Infants need both familiarity and flexibility. Our day follows a predictable rhythm while allowing educators to respond to individual needs.
Arrival & Connection
A warm welcome and communication with families.
Morning Care & Exploration
Feeding, personal care and age-appropriate exploration.
Sensory & Movement Experiences
Hands-on experiences designed around children's developmental stages.
Outdoor Time
Fresh air, movement and opportunities to observe the world around them.
Rest & Sleep
Quiet rest periods based on individual needs and safe sleep practices.
Afternoon Discovery
Books, music, sensory experiences, movement and social interaction.
End-of-Day Family Connection
Sharing important information about your child's experiences, routines and day.
OUR EDUCATORS
Caring Adults. Thoughtful Guidance.
Our educators create the conditions for babies to feel comfortable, confident and curious.
They observe children's interests and developmental progress, then introduce experiences that encourage exploration and emerging skills.
Rather than rushing development, we give children time to practise, repeat, discover and grow.
PARTNERSHIP WITH FAMILIES
We Grow Alongside You
Your family knows your child best. We value ongoing communication with parents and caregivers so that we can better understand your child's routines, preferences, development and changing needs.
