Infant Care| Montessori at the Park| Rancho Santa Margarita

The early years of life are critical for a child’s growth, and choosing the right environment during this time can make all the difference. At Montessori at the Park, our Infant Program is designed to provide a nurturing and stimulating space where your baby can thrive. Rooted in the Montessori philosophy, our program focuses on fostering independence, curiosity, and development from the very beginning.

Why Choose a Montessori Infant Program?

The Montessori approach emphasizes individualized learning and respect for a child’s natural development. For infants, this means creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment that supports exploration, discovery, and growth. Here’s what sets our infant program apart:

1. Tailored Learning Environment
   Our classrooms are carefully prepared to meet the unique needs of infants, featuring soft surfaces, age-appropriate materials, and sensory activities that encourage natural curiosity.
2. Focus on Independence
   Even at a young age, infants can begin developing independence. Through simple tasks like reaching for toys or exploring their surroundings, your child builds confidence and motor skills.
3. Highly Trained Educators
   Our teachers are certified in Montessori methods and understand the developmental milestones of infants. They provide gentle guidance and attentive care to ensure your baby feels secure and supported.
4. Fostering Key Skills
   The Montessori Infant Program promotes skills such as:
   • Motor Development: Activities like crawling, grasping, and reaching strengthen physical abilities.
   • Language Development: Teachers engage with infants using songs, stories, and conversations to nurture early language skills.
   • Social Interaction: Even at an early age, babies benefit from interacting with peers in a calm and positive setting.
5. Parental Partnership
   We believe that parents are a child’s first teachers. Our program includes regular communication, updates, and resources to help families extend learning at home.

What to Expect in the Infant Program

• Age Group: 6 weeks to 18 months.
• Daily Schedule: A flexible routine that includes time for play, rest, feeding, and individualized care.
• Materials: Open-ended toys, sensory activities, and Montessori-specific materials designed to engage your infant’s senses and curiosity.
