Read our blog to learn more about Why Montessori at a Young Age Matters. 

​

Dr. Maria Montessori believed that the child’s brain develops more rapidly during the period from birth to age 3 than at any other time, allowing more learning to take place than any other stage of development.

Young Infants

Our Montessori Infant Program features a carefully curated environment designed to promote early development. The room provides many opportunities for gross motor activities, with soft floor mats and bolsters where babies can freely move and develop skills such as rolling, sitting, scooting, crawling, and potentially walking. In our young infant environment, we prioritize:

 

  • Individual Schedules

  • Visual Stimulation

  • Tactile Exploration

  • Language Exposure

 

Older/Mobile Infants

We understand the unique needs of infants as they transition from the early stages of development into more active exploration and learning. Crawling and newly walking infants have the accessibility to explore low shelving with thoughtfully selected materials to support hands-on learning. The addition of gross motor equipment helps further skills such as climbing, pushing, and pulling. With our mobile infants, there is an additional emphasis on:

 

  • Practical Life Skills

  • Sensory Exploration

  • Motor Skills Development

  • Social Interaction
