Infant & Toddler
Childcare in Bozeman

Where your little one is known and loved.


Familiar teachers who take the time to get to know your child—and you.

Infants

Early Explorers
Ages 6 weeks - 12 months

There is only one baby quite like yours.

You know your baby better than anyone—their cues, how they like to be comforted, what makes them laugh, and when something just isn’t quite right.

When your baby joins Early Alpine, we want to get to know them, too.

Our teachers pay attention to the little things that make your baby who they are—and build a relationship with you along the way.

What infant care looks like at Early Alpine

The attention babies need.

Early Explorers is limited to eight babies, with two teachers caring for the group. That means time for holding, feeding, comforting, floor play—and noticing the little things that tell us what your baby needs.

Familiar faces every day.

Two dedicated teachers care for our Early Explorers, giving your baby consistent people to build relationships with—and teachers who really get to know them.

We learn your baby's cues.

We work closely with you to learn how your baby communicates what they need—from hunger and tiredness to how they like to be comforted. Feeding, sleep and care routines adjust as your baby grows.

$1,999/month · Full-time

Our Play-Based Approach

At Early Alpine, toddlers learn through doing. We provide open-ended materials, a steady daily routine, and gentle guidance to help children make sense of their world through play.

​

Children in this age group thrive on repetition, sensory input, and warm interactions. Our toddler classrooms blend child-led exploration with simple teacher-guided moments like songs, group snack, art, and outdoor play. Learning happens through touch, movement, and connection.

Choice & Exploration

Children learn through sensory play, blocks, art, dramatic play, and movement. These choices build confidence, creativity, and focus — all while giving toddlers a sense of control in their day.

Guided Learning Moments

We keep group times short and interactive — singing songs, reading simple stories, and exploring early concepts through movement and materials. Teachers guide without overwhelming.
