Questions
Infants FAQs
More answers on our FAQ page, or call 780-986-6848.
Check infants availabilityHow young can my baby start?
Our infant program cares for babies up to 18 months. Ask us about the youngest age we can take when you check availability; infant spaces fill early, so it's smart to ask before your leave ends.
Do I bring formula, bottles and diapers?
We'll give you our own list when you enrol. Most families label bottles, formula or breast milk, diapers, wipes and a change of clothes.
How will I know how my baby is doing?
Through the Lillio app: feeds, naps, diaper changes and photos, so you can follow along from work.
