Infant Care

Our youngest children get warm, responsive care in a calm home setting. We follow your baby’s lead with plenty of holding, talking, singing, reading and floor play, and we keep you updated so home and daycare feel connected. Ask us about current infant openings when you call or book a tour.

Toddler Care

Toddlers are busy learning to talk, move and do things on their own. We give them room to explore safely through play, music and movement, simple arts and crafts, story time and first counting and color games, with patient support for sharing, routines and growing independence.

Preschool Learning (Ages 3–5)

For preschoolers we build on play with early math and reading activities, letters and numbers, hands-on projects and practice with group routines, so children head to pre-K and kindergarten curious and confident.

More Than One Language

Language is part of every day at Busy Minds. Alongside English, we practice words and songs in ASL, Spanish and Punjabi, and we share books, toys and activities that celebrate different cultures.
