Infant Program
During the first three years of life, a child’s brain absorbs more information from the environment than at any other part of his lifetime. Every sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell is taken in and processed. It is an amazing, wondrous period in a tiny, complete human being’s life.
At Sacramento Montessori School, our Infant Program caters to infants 6 weeks – 18 months. Sacramento Montessori School provides a calm, nurturing Montessori environment designed to support each infant’s natural development from the earliest months. Our Montessori-inspired infant classroom encourages movement, exploration, and independence through safe, thoughtfully prepared spaces and developmentally appropriate materials.
Our experienced caregivers focus on supporting infants’ physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development by following each child’s individual rhythms and needs. Through responsive care, gentle routines, and close communication with families, we foster secure attachments and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
Families choose our infant program in Sacramento because we prioritize safety, consistency, and respect for each child’s unique developmental journey in a warm, loving Montessori setting.
Montessori Infant Environment
The Montessori infant environment provides a safe, calm, carefully designed setting for optimal learning that nurtures the physical and spiritual being. Sensory, cognitive, language, social, and cultural activities address the natural tendencies of the child’s developmental process. Even at this early stage, a child is soon able to make choices for his own independence.
Our Montessori teachers embrace a child-centered philosophy that demands a respect for the child and support for all his incredible potential. Within the safety of the prepared environment and under the watchful observation and guidance the child is free to explore his new world.
