We understand how important it is for your child to feel secure, especially during transitions.

Infant care availability can vary and spaces are often limited. If you’re expecting or planning a return to work soon, it’s a good idea to connect early.
Parents choose Chapter1 Daycare Cedarbrae because we offer the things that matter most in infant care: safety, warmth, and reliable routines—combined with meaningful early learning.
Families appreciate our:
Licensed childcare standards
Our program operates within Alberta’s childcare regulations, with health, safety, staffing, and environment standards designed for young children.
Responsive, nurturing caregivers
Babies need comfort, closeness, and connection. Our caregivers provide attentive, gentle care throughout the day—holding babies, soothing them, and responding to their needs quickly.
Low ratios and individualized attention
Infants require close supervision and one-on-one support. Our program is structured to ensure babies receive the time, attention, and care they deserve.
A calm, baby-friendly environment
Our infant spaces are designed to be soothing and safe, with age-appropriate equipment, clean routines, and a focus on comfort.
Clear communication with parents
You shouldn’t have to wonder how your baby’s day went. We keep parents updated on feeding, naps, diaper changes, and daily activities.
Continuity as your child grows
As your baby develops, you can continue their care journey within the Chapter1 community—transitioning from infant care to toddler programs and beyond, with familiar values and support.
Great infant care is built on the basics: safe spaces, consistent routines, and trusted adults. But it also includes thoughtful experiences that support early development—without overwhelming babies or forcing a schedule that doesn’t fit.
At Chapter1 Cedarbrae, our infant daycare program offers:
Individualized feeding support
We follow your baby’s feeding plan closely—whether that includes breast milk, formula, or solids for older infants, based on your guidance. Caregivers handle bottles carefully, maintain clean practices, and communicate with you about your child’s daily intake.
Flexible naps aligned with your routine
Infants don’t all sleep at the same time—and they shouldn’t have to. We respect your baby’s individual sleep needs and work to keep daycare rest routines aligned with what’s working at home.
Sensory exploration and early learning through play
Babies learn through sound, texture, movement, and face-to-face interaction. We offer age-appropriate toys and activities that support curiosity and early development in a gentle way.
Language-rich caregiving
Caregivers talk, sing, and read to babies throughout the day. Even before babies speak, they are absorbing patterns, tone, and connection through language.
Outdoor time when possible
Fresh air and natural light are valuable for babies. Weather permitting, infants may enjoy safe outdoor time or stroller walks as part of their day.
Safe, clean, organized infant spaces
Our environment is designed for infant safety, comfort, and hygiene with routines that support wellness and cleanliness throughout the day.
A predictable flow helps infants feel secure. While we always prioritize each baby’s needs, our day typically follows a gentle rhythm designed to support comfort, sleep, and growth.
Arrival & settling in
Caregivers greet families warmly and help babies transition from home to daycare in a calm, supportive way. We take time to check in with parents, especially for infants who are adjusting to care.
Feeding & diapering
Infants are fed on their own schedule, using parent-approved feeding plans. Diapering is handled with clean, consistent routines, and caregivers communicate changes throughout the day.
Play & exploration
Between feeding and naps, babies enjoy floor time, tummy time, sensory toys, songs, and gentle social interaction. These moments support motor development and early curiosity.
Naps & safe sleep
Rest is essential for infant development. We follow safe sleep practices and align naps with your baby’s natural patterns as closely as possible.
Fresh air and movement
When weather permits, infants may go outside for stroller walks or calm outdoor time. Even short outdoor breaks can support mood and regulation.
End-of-day updates
You’ll receive clear information about your baby’s day—sleep, feeding, diapering, and the activities they enjoyed—so home and daycare stay connected.
Safety is not a feature—it’s the foundation of infant care. At Chapter1 Daycare Cedarbrae, our safety and hygiene practices are built into the day-to-day routine of our infant program.
Our infant care includes:
Safe, baby-proofed spaces designed for infants
Clean diapering practices with consistent sanitizing routines
Regular cleaning of toys, surfaces, and infant areas
Caregivers trained to support infant wellbeing and respond quickly
Secure entry and pick-up protocols to protect your child
We know trust is earned, and we work hard to earn it every day through professionalism, consistency, and care.
Infants learn through repetition, observation, and connection. In our Cedarbrae infant daycare program, we support early development in a way that feels natural and comforting—never rushed.
Physical development
We provide safe floor space for rolling, crawling, and early standing support. Tummy time, reaching, grasping, and moving through space build strength and coordination.
Cognitive and language growth
Babies’ brains are constantly forming new connections. Caregivers encourage this through talking, singing, reading, and age-appropriate play that supports cause-and-effect and early problem-solving.
Social and emotional security
Healthy development begins with trust. When caregivers respond warmly and consistently, babies learn that their needs matter and that the world is safe. This supports early self-regulation and emotional stability.
Sensory exploration
Babies experience the world through touch, sound, and movement. We offer sensory-friendly activities that encourage exploration while keeping babies comfortable and calm.
Parents deserve clear communication—especially when their child is very young. At Chapter1 Cedarbrae, we keep parents connected with daily updates and ongoing observations.
We typically track and share progress related to:
Movement milestones (rolling, crawling, standing, walking)
Communication (babbling, gestures, early sound imitation)
Social interaction (smiles, engagement, comfort with caregivers)
Emotional responses (self-soothing, transition comfort, trust-building)
If you ever have concerns, we’re here to talk through what we’re seeing and work with you on consistent strategies between home and daycare.
We understand childcare decisions include both emotional and practical factors. Many families ask about costs early, and we aim to keep the process clear.
Our Cedarbrae infant program may qualify for provincial childcare supports depending on your family’s eligibility. Since infant spaces are limited due to the need for low ratios and close supervision, many families choose to connect early and join the waitlist.
