Feeding On Their Schedule
We follow your baby's feeding plan — breast milk, formula, or transitioning to solids. We track every bottle, ounce, and meal in a daily report you receive at pickup.
Newborn Care · 6 weeks – 12 months
Leaving a brand-new baby with someone else is one of the hardest things a parent can do. Our infant room was designed to make that step feel a little softer — for you and for them.
What Makes Our Infant Room Different
Infants don't need flashing lights or busy schedules — they need warm arms, familiar voices, and consistent routines. Our infant room at Marietta Academy is set up exactly that way: low ratios so each baby is held and talked to often, individual feeding and nap schedules, and a few dedicated caregivers who learn your baby's cues.
As a DECAL Quality Rated childcare center (license CCLC-502), our infant program meets or exceeds Georgia's standards for safety, staff training, and developmentally appropriate practice. Caregivers are CPR and First Aid certified, and our cribs, changing areas, and nursery layouts follow current safe-sleep and sanitation guidelines.
A Typical Day in the Infant Room
We follow your baby's feeding plan — breast milk, formula, or transitioning to solids. We track every bottle, ounce, and meal in a daily report you receive at pickup.
Each infant naps on their own schedule in their own crib. We follow safe-sleep practices: back-sleeping, firm mattress, no loose bedding.
Soft textures, music, books, mirrors, and supervised tummy time build the motor and language foundation babies need in the first year.
Consistency matters most in the first year. Your baby will get to know a small, dedicated team of caregivers — the people who learn what your baby's different cries mean.
Our bilingual staff speaks both English and Spanish. Babies absorb the rhythm and sounds of both languages naturally from the very first months.
You'll know exactly how your baby's day went — feedings, naps, diapers, mood, milestones. We believe parents shouldn't have to guess.
