New Infant Development Center opens as a part of Cultivate Mankato

MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Cultivate Mankato will open a new site to expand its infant program.

The new site is called the Infant Developmental Center and it opens on July 11.

It’s located inside the Christ the King building, near the Mayo Clinic Health System and Mankato Clinic hospitals.

Some features of the new location include large rooms, an on-site kitchen, safe furniture, developmental toys, and an “at-home” aesthetic.

The expanded site will have 50 open infant spots for either full-time or part-time care.

“And we know it’s a need of the Mankato community to have more infant care. So when this opportunity came up to expand into this location, we really wanted to focus just on infants,” said Candice Deal-Bartell, founder and director of Cultivate Mankato.

Cultivate Mankato’s original site will continue its current programs, and the Infant Development Center assists children from 16 weeks to 16 months.
