INFANT

Montessori Infant Program

Gig Harbor Campus Only

(8 weeks-18 months)​ Year Round

Our year round infant program nurtures the sense of trust and security in each child. Our Montessori trained infant teachers prepare the classroom with guided exploration in mind. The space is safe and designed to meet the developmental needs of the youngest members of our community.

Infants are remarkable “students” who spend their entire infancy learning what it means to be human. Our teachers are models for the students and interact with the babies through singing, speaking, rocking, holding, laughing and smiling. The Montessori education at this level is based on both child and brain development. Safety, love, and cognitive growth are the cornerstones of our program.​Our teachers follow the infants’ schedules and allow them to nap when they are tired, eat when they are hungry and explore when they are ready. Teachers encourage the infant to challenge themselves. For example, our teachers will observe an infant who is working on reaching or crawling. The teacher will place an object just out of reach and the infant will problem solve until they get the object.

The Montessori Infant program is far from a

daycare, it is an environment which focuses on all

aspects of your child’s development with special

focus on independence, language and cognitive

growth. This is all done in a safe and loving

environment.
