Infant/Toddler Program 12-36months

The Montessori infant/toddler program is designed to foster the development of basic trust and to assist in the normal development of the personality. Basic trust develops in an environment where people respond appropriately to the child's communication of needs to be loved, respected and accepted. Infants & Toddlers alike learn through their senses. They learn by watching and moving freely in the environment. The child is considered as a whole person and is affected by the quality of holding and feeding, as well as the quality of physical care. Freedom to move is essential to the development of the child's potential. Learning, which leads to independence, occurs when the child participate in their daily routines of care. Children must be spoken to in the language with which they will communicate.
