Infant Care in Singapore for 2-18 Months Old

Elements of Learning, Committed to Excellence

Infants are like budding seeds with boundless potential. They possess an innate curiosity that drives their exploration of the world around them. From the bonding of secure relationships with trusted adults to the sights, sounds, and sensations from their environments, their inquisitive nature propels them forth to nurture their seeds of curiosity and sprout into little blossoms that are ready for new learning chapters and beginnings. Our infant care centre provides a nurturing and stimulating environment where your child can explore, learn, and grow.

What Are the Benefits of Enrolling in an Infant Care Centre?

Fosters Early Cognitive and Emotional Growth

Our environment is specifically designed to stimulate young minds. Through play-based activities and one-on-one interactions, infants are encouraged to explore their senses, develop problem-solving skills, and establish a strong emotional foundation.

Creates Strong Foundations for Social Skills

Even at a young age, infants benefit from interacting with their peers. Our infant care centre provides a safe space for babies to observe and engage with others, fostering early social skills like sharing, turn-taking, and empathy. They learn to be comfortable in a group setting, which is valuable as they grow.

Professional Care Tailored to Infant Needs

You can rest assured knowing your child is in the hands of experienced and loving caregivers. Our team is trained in infant development and provides personalised attention, ensuring each baby’s unique needs for feeding, rest, and play are met.

Balances Work and Family Life with Confidence

We understand the demands of modern family life. Enrolling in our infant care centre in Singapore offers parents the peace of mind that comes from knowing their child is happy and safe while they manage their work commitments. It allows families to find that crucial balance, knowing their child is thriving.

Enhances Infant Well-being with Structured Activities

While play is central, our centre also incorporates structured activities that promote overall well-being. From tummy time to sensory exploration and music, these activities are thoughtfully planned to enhance motor skills, encourage physical development, and simply bring joy to your little one’s day.

What is the F.I.G. Curriculum at Little Oxford’s Infant Care Centre?

Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, our Family-Individual-Growth (F.I.G.) curriculum celebrates diverse paths of growth, much like a fig tree sheltering many blooms. Inspired by leading theories and the nurturing of seeds, it is thoughtfully aligned with the national framework for young children.

At Little Oxford Schoolhouse, we plant the seeds of success to nurture our young ones’ potential into their preschool years in 3 areas: Family for basics, Individual for healthy physiological well-being, and Growth for forming many connections.

The development of children at every stage highlights the fundamental importance of meeting their basic needs, building trust for secure attachment, and fostering overall well-being. Beyond providing quality care, our top priority is to create a safe and secure haven for young children, fostering trust and emotional well-being throughout their time with us at our infant care centre.

Family

Immersing children in a supportive and nurturing environment to build a sense of belonging within our playgroup.

Individual

Equipping children with positive attitudes, values and learning dispositions essential for any playgroup in Singapore.

Growth

Sensory-rich learning discoveries and experiences support children’s curiosities in our playgroup nursery.

What is the Singapore Infant Care Teacher: Child Ratio?

Maintaining a healthy caregiver-to-child ratio is crucial to providing exceptional infant care. It ensures that every little one receives the attention and nurturing they need to flourish. Here at Little Oxford Schoolhouse, our infant care centre is committed to providing outstanding care.

This lower ratio means our dedicated caregivers have more time to bond with each infant, respond promptly to their needs, and engage them in meaningful interactions. We believe this approach is crucial for fostering secure attachments and truly understanding each child's unique developmental journey within our infant care centre.
