Our Services
Infant Care | Ages 4 Weeks – 24 Months
The earliest months of life are a time of extraordinary growth and development. Our infant program is designed to provide a calm, nurturing environment where babies feel secure, supported, and deeply known.
At Daisy Trails, we recognize that infant care is about more than supervision. Families need to feel confident that their child is safe, understood, and cared for with attentiveness and respect. Our approach honors each family’s rhythms while supporting healthy development through responsive, relationship-based care.
The environment is intentionally peaceful and screen-free, allowing infants to experience the world through movement, sensory exploration, and meaningful interaction with trusted caregivers.
Throughout the week, infants are gently introduced to enrichment experiences designed specifically for early development. These may include infant yoga, music and rhythm, balance and breath activities, tai chi-inspired movement, sound baths, and early sensory exploration.
Our health, safety, and wellness practices are integrated into daily care, and our space is carefully designed to support safe exploration and developmental growth.
To ensure individualized attention and a calm atmosphere, enrollment is limited to four infants at a time.

Infant & Newborn Transition Support
In-Home Support for Families Welcoming a New Baby
Welcoming a newborn is a profound transition. Alongside the joy of a new baby often comes exhaustion, uncertainty, and many questions.
For families with infants who are not yet ready for group care, Daisy Trails offers short-term, in-home infant transition support grounded in nearly three decades of experience in infant and early childhood care.
This service provides calm, knowledgeable guidance for both baby and parents as routines develop and confidence grows.
Who This Support Is For
This program is especially helpful for families who:
• have a newborn or young infant and would like experienced support during the early months
• are navigating sleep, feeding, or daily rhythm transitions
• are interested in elimination communication or early toileting awareness
• plan to enroll in our infant program in the future
• do not have extended family nearby for support
• value gentle, relationship-based infant care
What Support Can Include
Support is individualized and may include:
• attentive infant care during developmental transitions
• guidance establishing predictable daily rhythms
• support with sleep, feeding, and early play routines
• gentle introduction to elimination communication when appropriate
• reassurance and practical guidance for parents
• planning for a smooth transition into group infant care
Emergency hourly assistance may also be available for families enrolled in the transition support program.
Structure & Availability
Support is scheduled in advance and typically offered for 8–12 weeks. Availability is intentionally limited to 2–3 families at a time to maintain consistency and reliability.
This service is led by Harmony Shreve, who brings over 29 years of experience in infant and early childhood care, formal education in Early Childhood Education and Human Development, and ongoing professional development in infant development and outdoor education.
Care is grounded in respect for infant development, predictable routines, and responsive caregiving rather than rigid methods.
Transition support is offered as a monthly program rather than hourly care.
Typical investment:
$100–$1,500 per month depending on level of support and scheduling needs.
Participation does not guarantee future enrollment in other programs, though it often helps families transition smoothly into group care.
Contact
Because this support is highly personalized, availability is limited.
Families interested in learning more are invited to reach out to schedule a brief conversation or schedule an onboarding meeting.

Toddlers | Ages 2–4
The toddler years are a period of extraordinary brain development, physical growth, and emerging independence. Our program is designed to support this stage through daily movement, outdoor exploration, and meaningful real-world experiences in a calm, screen-free environment.
Children spend the majority of their day outdoors hiking, climbing, exploring, and engaging in open-ended nature play. These experiences strengthen balance, coordination, endurance, and body awareness while also supporting the healthy development of attention, emotional regulation, and early executive functioning.
Research continues to show that early childhood development benefits profoundly from movement, sensory experiences, and time in nature. By keeping our environment screen-free and rooted in outdoor exploration, we support the development of strong neural pathways, healthy white matter growth, and the ability to focus, regulate emotions, and think creatively.
During winter months, children are introduced to age-appropriate skiing and snow movement with a focus on confidence, balance, and joy. Outside of winter, we emphasize ski readiness through hiking, climbing, and movement activities that naturally build strength and coordination.
Program Schedule
Monday–Friday | 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Tuition
Full-Time Care: $3,333 per month
Enrollment is intentionally limited to maintain a very small group size, strong relationships, and a calm, attentive learning environment.
Forest Sessions | Ages 4.5+
For children over 4.5 years old, our forest sessions provide continued opportunities to build resilience, independence, and physical confidence through outdoor challenges and exploration.
Children hike, explore seasonal environments, and participate in skiing during the winter months. Throughout the year we focus on developing balance, coordination, endurance, and problem-solving through movement and shared outdoor experiences.
These sessions help children strengthen both physical confidence and social connection while deepening their relationship with the natural environment.
Session Schedule
Monday, Wednesday, or Friday
3:45 PM – 4:45 PM
Pricing
$25 per session

$275 monthly membership for unlimited sessions
Families are encouraged to attend the same day each week to support group consistency and meaningful relationships within the group.
Our Philosophy
Our program is intentionally screen-free and nature-based.
Children today are growing up in a world filled with digital stimulation. We believe early childhood is a time for movement, imagination, exploration, and connection to the natural world.
By protecting this stage of development, we support children in building strong bodies, focused minds, and the confidence to engage fully with the world around them.
Families who thrive here typically value:
• time outdoors in all seasons
• minimal technology during early childhood
• movement, exploration, and independence
• small group learning and close relationships
Enrichment Classes
Every week our kids have access to 8+ enrichment classes. We are currently offering dance, tai chi, breath and balance, yoga, music and paint and sippy cup.
- Drop in Enrichment classes are $15 per class with parent participation.
