Infant (0 – 19 Months)
Infants are completely dependent on their caregiver. Therefore, it is important to provide a nurturing and safe environment that provides for both physical and mental development. Appropriate staff to children ratio is required during this period. We, at UTLDC take this responsibility very seriously. This is also a rapidly developing stage and children start to rollover, sit up, stand and walk in quick succession. This rapid evolution is in their nutritional need as well. They develop keen sense of observation hence nourishing environment is highly desirable. In our centre, well trained staff with years of experience provide special attention to their interests and develop program that nurture infants to spend their time in more fulfilling way. This also helps infants to stay calm, comfortable and well nourished.

My 2.8 yr son was in UTLDC since Nov 2016 to May 2017. Everyone in the daycare was following safety policy and procedure. Managers are really respectful and understanding. We like the positive environment where all are respecting each other. The place is always neat and clean. We loved being updated with everything by e-mail, monthly newsletter and weekly menu. Food is really good, our picky son appetite has improved :))) and yes, our son asks about his teachers and friends in the weekends!
Our son has been at this daycare since it opened in January 2016 and we are very happy with the level of care and attention he receives. We love that the meals are freshly cooked from scratch and appreciate the open lines of communication with the staff and supervisors. The staff are friendly, professional, creative, and competent. Our son is comfortable around all of the teachers and happy when he is there, which is the most important thing to us!.
Both my 4 yr-old and 2 yr-old go to UTLDC and love it there. We know when they ask to go on a Saturday. The kids get to learn so many new things that as full time working parents we often don’t have enough time to teach them ourselves. Really respect the work their staffs do
