Infant Home Daycare · Bellevue, Nebraska
Where your smallest one is never just a number
A private infant home daycare in Bellevue, Nebraska caring exclusively for infants in their first year of life. Nurse-led. Faith-grounded. Intentionally small — because infants deserve unhurried, undivided attention.
"I spent years caring for patients in their most vulnerable moments. Now I want to bring that same steady, attentive care to the tiniest members of your family."
Meet Andrea
Andrea West is a registered nurse transitioning to what she believes is her most meaningful calling yet — caring for infants in their first year of life. With clinical training that teaches you to read what a patient cannot say, and a faith that shapes how she sees every life as sacred, Andrea brings something most daycares simply cannot offer.
Cradle of Grace will open in August 2026 in our home in Bellevue, Nebraska — a warm, calm, private environment purpose-built for the infant who deserves more than a crowded room.
Why Cradle of Grace
We are unapologetically niche. We care for infants only — 6 weeks through 12 months — and we will never exceed four children total. That's not a limitation. That's the point.
No toddlers. No school-age children. Every developmental decision, every sleep protocol, every routine is built around the unique needs of babies in their first year. This is all we do.
By design and by choice. Four babies means Andrea knows your child's hunger cues, their settling patterns, their mood on a Tuesday. That knowing is the product.
Clinical training doesn't turn off when you leave the hospital. Andrea notices changes in color, breathing, temperature, and temperament that an untrained eye might miss — and she communicates them to you, clearly.
Parents provide all formula, breastmilk, and any food being introduced. No substitutions, no surprises. You control what goes into your baby. We support the choices you've already made.
Cradle of Grace is in our home in Bellevue. Quiet. Warm. Calm. The environment an infant thrives in — not fluorescent lights and shift changes, but a place that feels like it should.
We openly acknowledge: around twelve months, your child will move on to a different daycare stage. We are at peace with that. Your child's first year is sacred to us — and complete in itself.
Rooted in Faith & Community
Cradle of Grace grows out of our faith community in Bellevue. We are members of Grace Bible Church and connected to Cornerstone Christian School — and we believe that caring well for the youngest members of our community is an extension of that faith. If you know us, you know what we're about.
Cradle of Grace reflects the values of our faith community — that every life is precious, every family deserves to be supported, and care given well is a form of service.
We warmly welcome families from:
What to Expect
An infant's first year is too important for vague expectations. Below is a summary of how Cradle of Grace operates. Full policy documentation is provided at enrollment and reviewed together before your child's first day.
Opening August 2026
We will open in August 2026 with our granddaughter as our first baby, and three spots available to outside families. If you're expecting, planning your return to work, or navigating a last-minute care gap — reach out early. Spots are held by deposit.
Cradle of Grace is not the right fit for every family — and that's okay. Fill out the inquiry form and Andrea will reach out personally to talk through whether we're a good match for your child's first year.
Submitting an inquiry does not hold a spot. Andrea will follow up by phone or text within 48 hours.
■ Reserved (granddaughter) · □ Available
When you submit an inquiry, Andrea will contact you directly to discuss your child's start date, schedule needs, and whether Cradle of Grace is a good match.
The inquiry form collects your name, your baby's expected arrival or current age, your anticipated start date, and the best way to reach you.
