Working Mother & Infant Care

I go to work and baby goes to school.

Infant care:

- bb is exposed to friends and teachers at a very young age so she is pretty much an extrovert now and she enjoys going to school

- the teachers shower bb 2 times a day which is great

- ratio 1:3

- they would always sing and play with her, if she’s at home… I probably won’t have the enthusiasm or energy to do it everyday

- 7am to 7pm operating hours, great for working mothers who end work later

- down side, she had HFMD, flu, fever and some eczema because of her skin type

In summary, I love her infant care because she likes her teachers and they always take good care of her. This is the most important thing.

... Read moreWhen choosing infant care, I quickly realized the importance of a nurturing environment where my baby feels safe and engaged. The 1:3 teacher-to-child ratio at her school gave me peace of mind knowing she receives plenty of attention and interaction. One significant benefit has been the daily routine filled with songs, games, and art and craft activities. She especially enjoys exploring new toys supplied by the center, which means I don’t need to buy many at home—this has been both practical and budget-friendly. However, exposure to other children naturally comes with some health challenges like HFMD, flu, and occasional eczema flare-ups due to her sensitive skin. Despite these, I appreciate the care and quick responses from her teachers, which helps manage these issues promptly. The long operating hours, from 7 am to 7 pm, have been a lifesaver for my demanding work schedule, making it easier to coordinate drop-offs and pick-ups. Overall, connecting with a caring infant care provider who understands the unique needs of working moms has greatly eased my parenting journey and strengthened my daughter's social and emotional development.

I didn’t want a helper raising my baby — so we chose infant care

Baby sleep at your fingertips! 🙌
Calculating TWT (total wake time) has been very effective in ensuring that my baby takes solid naps + night sleep. I would say for young infants (taking more than 3 naps), monitoring the individual WT + following baby cues makes more sense instead of looking at TWT cause their WT is so short (mostl
