Nurturing Infant Care in Minneapolis

Loving Infant Care for Your Little One

At Hooyo Child Care Center, our infant care program is designed to offer the highest level of support for your baby’s early development. We welcome infants as young as 6 weeks old into a warm, secure environment where they receive individualized attention, responsive care, and a foundation for healthy growth.


Our dedicated caregivers create a home-away-from-home feeling, making it easier for parents to return to work with peace of mind.

A Safe and Stimulating Environment

Your baby’s safety is our top priority. Our infant rooms are designed with:



  • Age-appropriate toys and equipment
  • Regular sanitization and safety checks
  • Soft, calming spaces to encourage exploration
  • Comfortable nap areas
  • Personalized schedules that align with your baby's feeding and sleeping patterns

We maintain low caregiver-to-infant ratios to ensure each baby gets the focused care and attention they deserve.

Early Development Through Bilingual Communication

Even the youngest children benefit from exposure to language. Our bilingual environment introduces infants to both English and Spanish through:



  • Gentle conversations
  • Singing and lullabies
  • Storytime with age-appropriate books

This early bilingual exposure helps foster brain development and lays the foundation for strong communication skills later in life.

Daily Activities for Infant Growth

Our infant program includes:


  • Tummy time and physical development activities
  • Sensory exploration (textures, sounds, lights)
  • Social interaction through gentle play
  • Emotional bonding with trusted caregivers
  • Language-rich engagement throughout the day

Everything we do is aimed at encouraging emotional security, physical development, and cognitive growth.

Meals, Potty Training Readiness, and Family Communication

Although most infants are on bottles or starting solid foods, our caregivers work closely with families on meal transitions and dietary needs.


As babies near toddlerhood, we help prepare them for the next stages of development, including early signs of potty training readiness.


Parents receive daily reports on:

  • Feedings
  • Naps
  • Diaper changes
  • Developmental milestones
  • Any important updates
