The Parent-Infant Program provides a setting where parents and children, ages 6 months to 16 months, interact under the guidance of a trained adult.
Parents are guided in their observation of their child and in understanding their child’s development. The environment is equipped with activities for the child, or for both the child and the parent to interact with. The Parent-Infant Program helps the parents develop their Self- Reflective stands towards their own Parenting Process.

 

Welcomes infants from 6 months to 16 months in a Prepared Montessori Environment

 
  • Low shelves are used with developmentally appropriate activities for children.
  • It is a foundational program that introduces the beginning skills that will be carried over to the Toddler and Preschool Programs.
  • Children learn a lot of Gross motor coordination skills at their own pace.
  • Children are introduced to a rich variety of food and develop a healthy eating foundation. They learn to feed themselves, using their hands or a spoon and learn to drink out of a small cup, and to sit on to a chair and table when they eat.
  • The weekly class provides children and parents with a special bonding time, while they are exploring the benefits of the Montessori philosophy together.
  • It is also a wonderful opportunity for parents to meet with other like-minded adults and build a supportive community.
  • Predictable Routines allow the child to feel comfortable exploring the environment at their own pace.
  • As they grow as a Program spontaneously, the children learn to set up the tables independently for their Community Family Style Snack time. Children learn to clean up after themselves.
  • The Parent-Infant Program helps the parents develop their Self- Reflective stands towards their own Parenting Process.
