Abstract :Infants learn new things through interaction with other children at home or a crèche where others are kept for safety by parents as they attend to various careers.  Even though most parents may not know exactly the degree to which infants learn as they stay together at the crèche, this guides their development  with proper facilities put in place by daycare centres.  The crux here is the provision of safety facilities in the crèche for proper infant development during the first six months of child care in the crèche.  The major question here is what is a crèche? Are crèches safe and reliable? What would the child do at the crèche? Finding out what infants learn and the safety of being a client at the daycare centre requires an understanding of the practice in the centre as regards the child ability to develop with reference to their stages of development which form coherence to a baby’s world.  Studying how crèche and safety facilities facilitate infant development needs an understanding of how crèches are run to stimulate baby’s cognitive and social abilities for proper integration into the human world. The babies, toddlers and young children can play, learn, enjoy meals and rest under a safety facility provision with absolute strangers in a completely new environment with a feel of comfort and confident at the crèche.
