Current schedule

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 8 AM–4 PM. Full-time care is not currently offered. A four-day schedule may be offered in the future depending on need and availability. Infant Atelier specializes in infant care and encourages continuity through the first three years, so families who begin with us as infants can grow with us into toddlerhood as space allows.

Securing a spot

If a space is offered, signed enrollment paperwork and the first month’s tuition are due by the date in the offer email to secure your child’s place.

The first month’s tuition payment is applied to your child’s first month of care. Until payment and required enrollment documents are complete, the space is not considered held and may be offered to another family.

Health documents and immunizations

Before a child can attend, families will submit required enrollment documents and proof of immunization through the secure portal we provide.

The portal will also be used for practical enrollment documents such as emergency contacts, authorized pickup information, allergy or medication notes, and any physician or health forms required before care begins.

Infant Atelier follows California child care immunization requirements and applicable local public health guidance for families in Los Angeles. California Department of Public Health guidance says parents must show a child’s Immunization Record as proof CDPH. Los Angeles County Public Health explains that child care and pre-kindergarten facilities must enforce immunization requirements, maintain records, and submit reports to public health Los Angeles County Public Health.

Community agreements

Infant Atelier works best when home and nursery stay in honest, respectful communication.

Illness: Families keep children home when they are sick, contagious, or not well enough for a normal day of care. We will share more specific illness guidance before enrollment.
Photos and privacy: We will not share or post images of your child without your permission. Families are also asked not to photograph or share images of other children in the program.
Concerns and questions: If something feels unclear or needs repair, we ask families to come to Jess directly first so we can listen, respond, and make it right whenever possible.
Respectful communication: We value warmth, directness, and good faith on both sides. Small care depends on trust.
Shared responsibility: Families agree to keep emergency contacts, allergy information, pickup permissions, and health updates current.

Commitment

Enrollment is structured quarterly and billed monthly. When possible, we recommend a 6+ month commitment for relationship continuity.

Babies benefit from consistent caregivers and predictable relationships. ZERO TO THREE emphasizes primary caregiving, continuity of care, and the importance of stable relationships for infants and toddlers (ZERO TO THREE, Primary Caregiving and Continuity of Care; ZERO TO THREE, Caring for Infants and Toddlers in Groups).
