Leaving your baby in someone else's care is a big step. At Happy Palm, your infant is held, fed, soothed and loved on their own rhythm — in a calm, spotless home with a Montessori-trained caregiver.
Yes. Happy Palm provides licensed infant daycare in Irvine for babies up to 18 months, with feeding on your schedule, safe-sleep nap practices, frequent diaper changes and daily photo updates — in a small group for close, individual attention.

Breastmilk or formula, on demand — we follow your baby's cues and your written plan, never a rigid clock.
Separate, supervised safe-sleep practices and gentle nap routines that match what your baby does at home.
With our small group, infants get the close one-on-one attention and cuddles they need to feel secure.
Diaper changes, feeds, naps and smiles — you'll get updates and pictures so you never miss a moment.
Toys and surfaces are cleaned constantly; parents consistently mention how clean and fresh the home is.
We start slow, build trust, and many families stay with us from infancy all the way to kindergarten.
The first months go fast — and they matter. Babies need warmth, consistency and someone who truly pays attention. In a big center, infants can blur together. In our small home, your baby is known.
Shadi has cared for newborns as young as 2.5 months for years, and parents return baby after baby. We coordinate closely with you on feeding, sleep and milestones.
Everything is built around safety: a child-proofed home, safe-sleep routines, careful hygiene, and full California licensing (#304313679) you're welcome to verify.
Full-time, part-time and drop-in spots — plus evening and overnight care for shift-working parents.
We celebrate and gently encourage rolling, sitting, crawling and those magical firsts.
Daily communication and an open-door policy.
Montessori-trained, child-behaviour educated, and genuinely devoted to babies.
