At Phoenix House, we understand the unique needs of our youngest members and have thoughtfully modified our daily rhythm to ensure they receive the best care and attention. Our infants rest on demand, allowing them to nap whenever they need, promoting healthy sleep patterns and overall well-being.

We practice babywearing, fostering close connections and providing comfort and security for our infants throughout the day. Intentional inclusion is at the heart of our approach; our infants are always part of our community. We have a special infant space set up in our shaded outdoor area, allowing them to join in outdoor play safely and comfortably.

All activities are adapted to suit their developmental levels, whether they are observing or actively participating. This ensures that our infants are engaged and included, supporting their growth and development in a nurturing environment.

At Phoenix House, we are committed to creating a warm and inclusive space where every child, regardless of age, feels valued and cared for.

Please be advised that Phoenix House offsets tuition to reflect our closure dates by charging half tuition in December and no tuition for the month of July. This ensures that families are credited for our closure dates and frees up funds for families to pay for alternative care on closure dates if needed.

As a courtesy, Phoenix House will also happily match families with alternative care, normally a trusted nanny or nanny-share, for care on closure dates.

We understand the importance of continuity of care for our families and have several safeguards in place to prevent unforeseen closures. If the lead teacher is sick or otherwise unable to care for the children, a qualified substitute provider will step in to ensure there is no disruption to your child’s care. Unless an extreme unforeseen circumstance occurs, Phoenix House will remain open on all agreed-upon calendar days, ensuring reliability and consistency for your family.
