| In the Montessori infant and toddler program, each child is nurtured as a unique individual. The beautiful and orderly space provides gentle support for active learning. The infant and toddler program blends practical life, manipulative play, sensorial experiences, math, language, art, and music.
Infants and toddlers are encouraged to explore in a rich, safe learning environment with materials from the natural world, everyday household objects, and materials chosen for their design and sensory qualities. Freedom of movement is valued, and babies have opportunities to use all of their emerging physical and cognitive skills.
Infant and toddler teachers form close relationships with families and nurture the development of each child based on observation of his or her unique characteristics. Through responsive interactions, teachers promote the development of language and establish a strong sense of security.
