All-Year Infant (Ages 6 Weeks to 14 Months)

Education begins at birth. - Maria Montessori
The DCFS-licensed Infant program, at our Roosevelt Campus, provides learning experiences in an environment that is cheerful, inviting and rich with opportunities to explore. Low shelves and tables make the materials easily accessible to the infant that is mobile, while there is always a hum of conversation from teachers to children.  This is not a daycare, but rather a school with a full Montessori curriculum.

​The Infant teacher is specifically trained to work with very young children. The natural routine in this classroom includes time for feeding, sleeping, exposure to music, the outdoors, and our large muscle room.
