Montessori International’s infant room was created to be not only developmentally appropriate but warm and homelike to ensure children feel comfortable and secure. Caregivers meet infant’s needs consistently, and promptly based on the child’s own individual schedule. Infants are fed when hungry, changed when diapers are soiled, consoled when distressed and sleep when tired. Caregivers encourage infants to use their rapidly developing cognitive and physical skills to explore their environment in protected play areas and crawl spaces. Weather permitting, each day infants and their caregivers go outdoors for fresh air and a change of scene.
