There are 14 schools in the USA with the word infant in the name.

The word "infant" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to historical and educational practices that once separated younger children from older students for more specialized care and instruction. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, schools often used the term "infant" to refer to early childhood or kindergarten-aged students, reflecting a period when formal public education was first expanding to include children as young as four or five. This naming convention drew from European models, particularly British schooling systems, where "infant schools" were established for the youngest learners. Over time, communities in the U.S. adopted similar terminology to emphasize the nurturing and foundational role of these early years in public education. The use of "infant" in school names thus highlights an important phase of educational development aimed at meeting the unique needs of young children in American society.
