The Infant/Toddler Program

(ages 6 weeks to 24 months)

At Discovery Montessori, we understand that you as parents are at the center of your child’s healthy development. We see ourselves as partners to you, and encourage your input in helping us develop the best possible care for your child. Every day, Discovery Montessori shares with parents the joy of watching each child we serve grow and develop.

Our Infant/Toddler program (6 weeks to 24 months) provides a warm, nurturing environment where your child feels safe and content, and where you can have peace of mind knowing your child is in a safe, loving, and healthy environment and is designed to meet the unique needs of each child. To best serve our young learners, the Infant & Toddler room child-to-teacher ratio is lower than that of the other classrooms.

In keeping with the Montessori philosophy, we have created an interactive environment filled with everything your child needs to safely support his or her healthy development. Highlights of our program include:

 
 

Infant I (Tummy Time/Crawlers)

  • Ample floor space to support gross motor development, including rolling, scooting, kicking, and crawling.

  • Objects and materials thoughtfully placed at eye level to encourage visual exploration, mouthing, and hand grasping.

  • Safe and supervised access to outdoor play areas for fresh air and sensory exploration.

Infant II (Walkers/Stompers)

  • Opportunities to develop balance and movement skills through purposeful activities.

  • Encouraging early social interactions to foster communication and connection.

  • Support for autonomy and independence through age-appropriate tasks.

  • Focus on practical life, sensorial, and early language development to build confidence and curiosity.
