Infant Program
A secure, peaceful space where infants are cared for and respected as capable learners from the very beginning.
Overview
Our Infant rooms provide a nurturing environment thoughtfully designed for infants during their earliest and most important stage of development from as early as 6 weeks through 18 months.
The classroom is carefully prepared with natural materials, low shelving, mirrors, and movement opportunities that support physical development, independence, and exploration at each child’s own pace.
Learning at this age happens through movement, sensory experiences, and strong, responsive relationships. Our Montessori-trained guides offer consistent, respectful care while honoring each child’s individual routines and needs.
