ENRICHMENT DAYCARE PROGRAM
Our Enrichment Program consists of various activities designed to nurture your baby’s emotional needs while stimulating their physical, cognitive, and language development.
Infants experience the world through their senses and motor activity. They suck on their fingers, shake rattles, and observe interesting sights. They experiment to see what happens when they bang on a pot or tear up a piece of paper.
All of these activities help infants develop early concepts about cause-and-effect and spatial relationships. They also help children acquire information about the world. For instance, some objects feel soft, others feel hard, some taste good, and others do not.
Children grow more rapidly when they are infants and toddlers than at any other period of life. Fine motor skills begin to develop during these early years, laying the groundwork for future dexterity and coordination. As control improves, infants learn to use a spoon and cup, evidence of their growing independence.
Our infant caregivers are specially trained to provide your baby with a nurturing environment that allows them to grow and learn, giving you peace of mind. Caregiver interactions are the most crucial factor affecting the development of your child.
YOUR BABY’S SAFETY
The safety of your infant is the highest priority at our daycare center. Both our Northeast Heights Albuquerque and Rio Rancho locations are equipped with the latest security systems to ensure the safest learning environment. External doors are locked and armed with cameras, while classroom areas maintain security-locked doors. Parents are given special codes for checking children in and out of school.
Along with security, preserving the well-being of your child is very important. All our staff members are certified in infant/pediatric CPR and first aid. They also follow a regimented cleaning schedule that ensures children and their environments are always germ-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the youngest age you accept infants?
Covenant Schools accepts infants from 6 weeks of age. If you are expecting or have a newborn and are planning ahead, we encourage you to reach out early, as space in our infant program fills quickly. You can schedule a visit to see our facilities and meet our caregivers before your baby is ready to start.
How will I know what my baby did during the day?
We use the Procare app to keep you connected to your baby’s day. Through the app, your caregivers provide daily communication, including feeding updates, diaper changes, nap times, activities, and developmental milestones. You can also receive photos and notes from your child’s teachers throughout the day. Our open-door policy also means you are welcome to visit unannounced at any time — no appointment needed. Learn more about how we keep parents connected on our Procare app page.
How do you handle my baby's feeding and sleep schedule?
We follow your baby’s individual feeding and sleeping routine, not a standardized schedule. Our infant teachers work closely with parents from day one to understand your baby’s specific needs and preferences. For nursing mothers, we encourage setting up an in-person feeding schedule so you can come in and nurse your baby during the day. Our goal is to make the transition between home and our center as smooth and consistent as possible for your child.
What is the caregiver-to-infant ratio at Covenant Schools?
Covenant Schools maintains a low caregiver-to-infant ratio that stays below New Mexico state licensing requirements. This means your baby receives the individualized attention they need during these critical early months of development. Small group sizes also allow our caregivers to build genuine relationships with each infant, which research consistently shows is the single most important factor in early childhood development.
Are your infant caregivers trained in CPR and first aid?
Yes. All Covenant Schools staff members are certified in infant and pediatric CPR and first aid. Our facilities in both Albuquerque NE Heights and Rio Rancho are equipped with security-locked classroom doors, external cameras, and keypad entry systems. Parents are given secure codes for checking their child in and out. You can learn more about our security measures on our safety and security page.
Is Christian faith part of infant care at Covenant Schools?
Yes. At Covenant Schools, Christian values are present from the very first day of your child’s life with us. Our caregivers create a warm, loving environment rooted in Christian faith, and age-appropriate Bible-based learning is woven into daily care from infancy onward. Our mission is to provide an exceptional education in a safe and nurturing environment where children can grow in the Christian faith — and that begins in our infant program. You can learn more about our faith-based approach on our curriculum page.
How do I enroll my infant at Covenant Schools?
The first step is to schedule a visit to either our Albuquerque NE Heights or Rio Rancho campus. During your visit, you will meet our infant caregivers, see the facilities firsthand, and get answers to any specific questions about your baby’s needs. From there, our team will walk you through the enrollment process, including the application, allergy and health information, and setting up your child’s individual care plan. Call us at 505-856-5493 (NE Heights) or 505-994-4600 (Rio Rancho), or schedule your visit online.
