Angels Academy, infants are cared for in a nurturing, safe, and creative environment. Your baby’s first year of life is a critical yet amazing time filled with cognitive, emotional, and physical development, so daily needs are met with undivided attention and love. You can be confident that your child will get the same kind of care and stimulation that you, as a loving parent, would provide. Our specially trained care-givers incorporate singing, motor skills, and sensory exploration into daily activities to inspire and support your infant’s development into a smart, explorative toddler.
