NIDO (INFANTS)
ages 12 weeks - 18 months
Nurturing Growth from the Very Beginning
At Hiatt Farms Montessori School, our Infant Program is designed to provide a peaceful, nurturing space where your baby can explore, grow, and develop at their own pace. For infants aged 12 weeks to 18 months, we offer an environment that fosters early learning through gentle care and intentional interactions.
Montessori at the Very Beginning
In the Montessori philosophy, even the youngest children are viewed as capable, curious individuals. From the moment your baby joins our Infant Program, they are surrounded by calm, order, and loving guidance. Our Montessori-trained caregivers observe each child closely, supporting their emerging abilities while fostering independence and trust. Every element in our classroom is carefully designed to meet the developmental needs of infants—whether it’s low shelves for exploration or soft materials that engage their senses. Here, your child will have the freedom to explore, move, and interact in a space created just for them.
What Makes Our Infant Program Unique?
Personalized Care: Every baby is unique, and so is our approach to their care. We tailor each infant’s day to their rhythms, providing the individualized attention that helps them thrive.
A Prepared Environment: Our classroom is specifically designed for the needs of infants. From low shelving and soft rugs to safe, Montessori materials that encourage sensory exploration, everything is carefully prepared to support your child’s development.
Motor Development: Our spacious floor areas allow infants to move freely, practicing important gross motor skills such as rolling, crawling, and pulling up to stand, all at their own pace.
Emotional Development: Bonding and attachment are at the heart of our program. Our guides provide gentle, responsive care that nurtures your infant's sense of security and independence.
Language Development: Even in the earliest stages of life, babies are absorbing the world around them. We engage your child with rich, meaningful language through songs, stories, and simple conversations, laying the foundation for language development.
Partnering with Parents
We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for your child’s development. Our team works closely with parents to understand your baby’s unique needs and daily routines, ensuring a seamless transition between home and our Montessori environment. Regular updates and open communication help keep you involved in your child's growth, providing reassurance that they are in safe, loving hands.
