Infant Program

American Montessori is a great solution for working parents who are seeking quality care in a compassionate environment for their baby.


In addition to caring for your baby, we offer them the opportunity to learn important developmental skills. Our infants are cared for in a safe environment where they are stimulated with Montessori Materials. They have an abundance of Sensory and Manipulatives to enhance every developmental stage. They learn Gross and Fine motor skills, as well as Cognitive and Emotional Skills through social interactions and learning in the classroom.

Fine Motor Skill Development

We encourage the development of your baby's fine motor skills. This is the intentional movement and use of their hands. Fine motor skills include reaching, grasping, and manipulating objects. Such hand-eye coordination allows for the development of appropriate visual-motor skills needed to coordinate the rest of their small bodies.



Our wide variety of age-appropriate Montessori materials, student-centered classroom, and experienced teachers allow students to naturally learn these skills through play.

Sensory Development

Sensory and perceptual development refers to how infants start taking in, interpreting, and understanding sensory input in the environment around them. With this, they can adapt and develop a preference for particular sensory materials and activities.



We utilize visual and tactile stimulating materials to encourage curiosity for experiencing new textures. Additionally, we incorporate group sensory stimulation activities into their day.

Language Development

Language development in infants looks like the effective communication of their needs. 



We promote our infant's language development by consistently interacting with them throughout activities so that they can develop connections between certain words or phrases and behaviors. Additionally, our trained teachers can communicate in English, Spanish, and Sign Language with the babies allowing your child the ultimate opportunity to advance in their communication abilities.

Large/Gross Motor Skill Development

Large gross motor skill development involves the large muscles in the arms, legs, and torso of a child. 


We encourage our infants to learn the mechanics of their movement in a safe environment. From rolling over, crawling, and eventually walking, our infants can safely and properly learn these actions and movements. Our classroom materials are specific and intentional to enhance their abilities to achieve these milestones.

Music

Music enhances the intellectual development of babies and strengthens cognitive and sensory development.



We have a multitude of child-appropriate musical instruments that the infants use to create music. Additionally, we have organized music time in their day. We also have teachers who play the piano, violin, cello, and saxophone for the infants.

Creative Arts and Crafts

Artistic development can start in infancy. Our infants can discover the wonder and joy that is a part of creating.



We use art materials such as sponges, finger paints, and paper crafts to help them to develop artistic creativity and expression through color and art materials. Additionally, we promote the experience of making decisions and choices in the course of creating art.

My son attended this school for almost a year before we had to move out of the area. He was 16 months when he started and just over 2 when we left. We absolutely loved our time there! He learned how to count, the ABCs, and his vocabulary flourished. He loved his teachers and still talks about them daily. We will greatly miss American Montessori!
