Many parents searching for infant daycare in Danbury tell us they feel overwhelmed. They want a place that feels:
• Safe, clean, and calm
• Warm and nurturing, not rushed or overstimulating
• Consistent, with caregivers who truly know their baby

A Thoughtful Start, Beginning at 8 Weeks
Our Danbury infant program is grounded in Montessori principles, but first and foremost, it is grounded in respect for babies.
We believe infants thrive when they are:
• Responded to consistently
• Given time to move, explore, and observe
• Supported in developing trust and security
• Allowed to follow natural rhythms for sleep, feeding, and activity
Rather than forcing babies into a rigid schedule, we follow the child—while maintaining a calm, predictable environment that supports healthy development.

Individualized Daily Care
Each infant’s feeding, sleeping, and care routines are honored. We work closely with parents to ensure continuity between home and school.

Infant Montessori Daycare FAQs – Danbury, CT
Choosing infant care is a deeply personal decision. Parents exploring infant Montessori daycare in Danbury often come to us with the same thoughtful questions: How will my baby be cared for? Will they feel safe and loved? What makes Montessori appropriate for infants?
This FAQ is designed to give families in Danbury, Bethel, Ridgefield, New Fairfield, Newtown, Brewster, and surrounding areas the clarity and peace of mind they need when choosing infant care.
What age does the infant program begin?
Our infant program at the Danbury campus welcomes babies starting at 8 weeks old and continues until children are ready to transition into the toddler program.
What is the child-to-caregiver ratio?
We maintain a 3:1 infant-to-caregiver ratio. Keeping group sizes small allows caregivers to respond promptly, build strong relationships, and provide individualized attention throughout the day.
Why is tuition higher than some other infant daycare programs?
Our tuition reflects our low ratios and increased staffing, which ensure that no infant is left waiting for care. Additional caregivers allow us to meet babies’ needs immediately and maintain a calm, nurturing environment.
How are infants fed during the day?
Infants are always held during feedings, whether bottle-fed or breastfed. There is no rushing—if a feeding takes 45 minutes, that time is respected. Feeding is viewed as an important moment for comfort, bonding, and trust.
Is breastfeeding allowed?
Yes. Breastfeeding is encouraged and welcomed. Our infant program maintains an open-door policy, and mothers are welcome to come in during the day to breastfeed their child.
How do infants sleep at school?
All infants are placed on their backs for sleep, in full adherence with current SIDS safety guidelines. Safe sleep practices are strictly followed at all times.
What safety training does the staff have?
All infant caregivers hold current First Aid and CPR certifications, with required updates completed regularly. Health, safety, and supervision are top priorities at our Danbury campus.
What happens if an infant becomes ill?
Infants must be fever-free and symptom-free for 24 hours before returning to school, without the use of medication. Staff administer medication only in life-threatening situations and only with proper documentation and pediatrician authorization.
Why choose a Montessori program for infant care?
Montessori is especially powerful in the first three years of life. You will not see high chairs or playpens in our infant classroom. Montessori philosophy recognizes that movement is essential to early brain development.
As infants grow:
They are given freedom to move safely
They explore a thoughtfully prepared environment
They are supported in early independence and coordination
They begin participating in simple self-care routines
As soon as infants are developmentally ready, they are encouraged to engage with their environment rather than being confined. This supports confidence, curiosity, and natural development from the very beginning.
Will my child be able to continue at Hudson Country after infancy?
Yes. Many families choose our infant program because their child can continue seamlessly into toddler,preschool, elementary, and middle school at the same Danbury campus, within a trusted and familiar community.
How early should we schedule a tour?
Infant spaces are limited to ensure quality care and strong relationships. We recommend scheduling a tour during pregnancy or as early as possible to secure availability.
