Montessori Infant Program | Woodbury

Our infant school follows the Montessori approach, offering calm environments where young children are guided with respect, observation, and understanding rather than rushed routines in their early years. This helps each child develop self-confidence, intrinsic motivation, and early childhood skills that benefit them long after the first year.

Our class nurtures development through interest-led, hands-on activities such as sensory play, language exposure, and large-motor movement. Since more learning occurs in the early years than nearly any other period of life, as highlighted by Mount Royal University, the Montessori approach creates an exceptional foundation for growth.

During the first year, a child develops rapidly, and early childhood programs like ours nurture that natural passion for exploring, moving, and connecting with other children. Families often find that their children show more self-confidence, smoother transitions, and strong early foundations when they start school in this beginning stage.

Our infant school environment includes soft mats, low bars, and other tools that encourage safe movement, helping children strengthen balance, coordination, and walking skills at their own pace. With patient assistance from our Montessori-trained teachers who we call classroom guides and thoughtful materials, each child develops hand-eye coordination and confidence during this important period of growth.

Yes, our Montessori infant program partners closely with mothers and families to follow each baby's home routine, including introducing solids with understanding and care. We tailor feeding and sleep based on observations so your child develops a sense of comfort, trust, and healthy rhythms during these early years.

Even the youngest children benefit from peaceful interaction, watching others, and participating in simple moments with other children in the class. These experiences foster early communication, curiosity, and the beginning of lifelong social skills that continue to grow as they become toddlers and move into the next programs.

In our infant program, young children are taught in a calm learning environment that honors a child's natural passion to explore and absorb information during this powerful stage of early education. Because a child's brain develops so rapidly in the first years of life, we offer meaningful experiences rooted in Montessori history that help children learn and build strong foundations for everything that follows.
