The Seedling Room (Our Infant Environment - Starting at 12 weeks) Dr. Maria Montessori had a special vision for the very young child which we put into practice in our infant environment. The primary goal of this program is to assist each child in developing basic trust and sound self-esteem through respect and compassion. Every step of the Montessori experience is aimed at facilitating continual success. We guide each child's discovery of his or her own special and independent abilities. Our infants have a spacious environment that allows for freedom of movement and is filled with engaging materials for exploration, sensory experiences, language development and healthy emotional growth. We follow each child's natural developmental patterns, listening intently to his or her individual needs. By observing and interacting with each infant we develop the ability to read their cues, which is essential in building trust. By meeting the infant's needs in a respectful, responsive and reciprocal manner, we provide the nurturing and security necessary for happy and healthy infants. |
