Your Baby Deserves More Than a Daycare.
Montessori care from the very first weeks — ages 6 weeks–18 months, at a 4:1 ratio, in a room prepared for babies rather than borrowed from older children.
Our infant classroom is full right now — the list is open.
Explorers is our smallest room, and it is the one families plan for earliest — a good number of them reach out while they are still pregnant. Tell us your due date or your return-to-work date and we will be in touch when a place opens that fits your child's age and timing. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Why Parents Choose Meridian
We go beyond basic childcare to give your infant a foundation rooted in respect, independence, and genuine connection.
Montessori-Trained Lead Guides
Every guide who leads a Meridian classroom is Montessori-trained. In the infant room that means an adult who reads a three-month-old's cues as carefully as a three-year-old's questions.
Individual Care Plans
We create personalized sleep, feeding, and activity schedules tailored to your baby's unique rhythms so they feel safe, comfortable, and thriving.
Low Caregiver Ratios
With our 4:1 infant ratio, four babies to a guide, yours is genuinely known — their rhythms, their cues, and what settles them.
Daily Parent Updates
Photos, milestones, feeding logs and nap reports, shared with you through the day so the hours apart feel less like a gap.
What's Included
Our infant program is designed so you can focus on work while we focus on your baby.
Catered lunch is optional at $80 a month, billed separately from tuition — or send lunch from home. Snacks are provided, and Meridian is a nut-free campus.
What Infant Families Tell Us
“Like any parent of an infant who needs to go back to work, my husband and I were very anxious to find a good, safe child care for our baby. We visited multiple schools and ultimately found Meridian through another parent's referral. From our very first visit, we knew this was the right place for our family.”
Maria · Review on Insider Pages
“My two children have been enrolled in this school for almost two years. Coming from another facility, the first thing I noticed was that the entire staff knew each child. The care and attention to every child is remarkable. I specifically want to mention the incredible care in the infant room.”
Emily · Review on Insider Pages
“We enrolled our infant about 4 months ago and it was one of the best decisions we have made. The staff is so welcoming. Our experienced infant teacher made our child smile, giggle, and play around within minutes of the first visit. That told us everything we needed to know.”
