INFANTS
From the time they are born, babies are spectacular learners. They immediately investigate the sights, sounds, and feel of their environment. Our classroom nurtures each infant allowing them to develop at their own pace.
About our Infant Care
2 months to 18 Months
Our infant Montessori program provides infants with a secure and rich world full of possibilities for lively discovery and delight through moving, feeling, hearing, and touching. Their environment at Kids Montessori Academy is filled with responsive interactions and verbal communication that encourage open avenues of connection
At KMA, our curriculum is designed for comprehensive development at their own natural rate. Learning and caring are always together. Our teachers and caregivers offer constant care in a setting that nurtures a collection of sensory stimulation and mobility. A baby who senses genuine connection, trust, and safety will also mirror those feelings as they grow and explore their surroundings.
Infant Care: Theory and Enrichment
In alignment with Maria Montessori's philosophy of child development, KMA has adopted the fundamental requirements for an infant in our care to receive rapid cognitive and physical growth. It corresponds to providing responsive care, balanced nutrition, restful periods interspersed with gentle activity in a warm, balanced environment. Our dedicated infant teacher is equipped to aid in the development of your infant's self and individual being during this crucial stage of life. We would love for you to go over in more extensive detail about our Infant Curriculum. Book a tour today!
