Early Risers Welcome

Extended-Hours Infant Care

For families whose mornings start before ours do. When your little one needs care as early as 5:30 a.m. — up to three hours before our regular 8:30 a.m. opening — we offer dedicated premium early-morning care for infants.

Scheduled recurring care: $30–$40 per hour, per infant, for families with a regular early-morning routine.
Occasional or short-notice care: $40+ per hour, per infant, for emergency or one-time early drop-offs.
A three-hour minimum applies to all early-care reservations.
Reserved time blocks are billed in full, even if your child arrives later than scheduled.

Example

5:30 a.m. – 8:30 a.m. at $35/hour = $105/day

Early-morning availability is limited — schedule a tour to discuss your family's schedule and reserve your spot.

Yes. We offer daily and hourly rates alongside full-time weekly enrollment. Drop-ins are welcome subject to availability.

What if my child has allergies?

We accommodate all allergies and dietary needs. Please let us know in advance so we can plan meals and snacks safely.
