Licensed Jewish Infant Care in Wicker Park

Infant Care in Wicker Park, Chicago

Our Infant Care program gives babies as young as six weeks a warm, nurturing space to grow. Following the Reggio Emilia approach, we see each child as capable and full of potential from birth, and partner closely with families to keep home and school in sync.

Care Your Family Can Count On, Every Day

What Families Can Expect

Individualized Care & Daily Communication

We partner with parents on scheduling and milestones, keeping routines consistent at home and at school, and provide daily reports on sleep, feeding, and play.

Play Space to Grow

Infants and toddlers enjoy their own dedicated play space in the back of our center, away from the big kids, sized and set up just for their stage of development.

Music & Shabbat

Weekly music enrichment and schoolwide Shabbat celebrations welcome even our youngest learners into JCYS traditions from the very start.

Safety & Care

All teachers are certified in CPR and First Aid and trained in safe sleep practices, completing 15 hours of continuing education every year.

The details, made simple.
