Our infant care programme is designed to foster a safe and nurturing environment where your precious little ones can thrive. We understand the importance of trust and expertise in infant care, which is why our programme prioritises strong bonds between educators and infants, creating a foundation for future learning and social development. Our carefully structured daily activities engage our children in a variety of experiences that promote their curiosity, exploration, and growth. We understand that finding the right infant daycare in Singapore is crucial, and our commitment is to provide unparalleled care.
We subscribed to ‘play being a fundamental aspect of the formative years of a child’. Our curriculum caters for age-appropriate activities that are engaging, supporting their motor skill development.
At the heart of our infant care centres are our dedicated teachers. Each team member is not only certified in infant care, first aid, and early childhood education, ensuring the highest standards of care, but also selected for their compassionate nature. We understand that a nurturing touch is essential, and our teachers strive to make every infant feel secure and loved. With low infant-to-teacher ratios, we guarantee personalised attention, meeting each baby’s unique needs with care and responsiveness.
We believe in nurturing the holistic development of every infant, encompassing cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth. Our structured activities are designed to stimulate their senses and encourage exploration, fostering a well-rounded development that prepares them for future learning experiences, whether in a daycare nursery or a preschool kindergarten setting.
Through engaging activities like sensory play, tummy time, music and movement, and baby sign language, we lay a strong foundation for early learning. Recognising that each child develops at their own unique pace, we tailor our approach to provide individualised care and attention, ensuring every infant’s journey is supported with sensitivity and expertise.
Your child’s safety and comfort are our top priority. Our infant care centres are designed to create a warm, home-like atmosphere, ensuring your infant feels comfortable and protected. We maintain rigorous safety protocols, including baby-proofed areas, CCTV monitoring and comprehensive emergency preparedness plans.
At Haven Schoolhouse, we prioritise your infant’s health and well-being. We uphold the highest hygiene standards through daily sanitisation of toys, cribs, and play areas. Our comprehensive health protocols include regular temperature checks, clear sick policies, and vigilant monitoring of each infant’s wellness. To support their healthy development, we provide nutritious meal plans, thoughtfully tailored to meet the specific dietary needs of growing infants.
We believe in keeping parents fully informed about their infant’s daily activities, mood, feedings, and development. To keep you up to date with your child’s progress, we provide daily reports, mobile app updates, photo/video sharing, and parent-teacher meetings.
We subscribed to ‘play being a fundamental aspect of the formative years of a child’. Our curriculum caters for age-appropriate activities that are engaging, supporting their motor skill development.
Sensory play involves engaging infants with textured toys, water play, and soft materials to enhance their sense of touch and sight. At Haven Schoolhouse, we use sensory play to stimulate curiosity and exploration, fostering cognitive development and sensory awareness.
Music and movement activities include gentle swaying, clapping, and the use of baby-friendly instruments to boost coordination and auditory skills. At our infant daycare, we incorporate these activities to encourage rhythm, movement, and sensory exploration, promoting physical and cognitive development.
Tummy time activities are essential for strengthening muscles and supporting physical development. At Haven Schoolhouse, we provide a safe and supportive environment for tummy time, encouraging infants to build strength and coordination.
Cause-and-effect play involves toys that respond to touch, stacking blocks, and simple peek-a-boo games. We use these activities in our infant care centres to teach infants about cause and effect, fostering cognitive development and problem-solving skills.
OUR PROGRAMMES
Our infant care programme focuses on five essential domains of development:
We encourage infants to develop self-care skills, build relationships with others, and express their emotions effectively.

We believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect. This unwavering belief fuels our dedication to serving everyone with fairness and compassion.
We support infants' physical growth and development through activities like tummy time and movement.

However, once your child starts interacting with others, it is often beneficial to leave and allow them to settle independently. Your continued presence might prolong separation anxiety.
Please note: Specific arrangements may vary by centre due to COVID-19 regulations and local guidelines. We recommend contacting your preferred centre directly for more information.
