Infant Program - 6 weeks to 17 months

Picture
Fort Worth Montessori School understands how difficult it is to find a place where a parent can trust, feel comfortable and know their little ones are safe and truly loved.  We simply love our infants and want to give them an environment they love being a part of.  Our caregivers are dedicated to loving your little ones and helping them reach their potential.  Trusting your little one with someone is a tough decision but allowing us to take care of your precious, little one will give us great joy!  The Montessori philosophy is an outstanding opportunity and starting off at such a young age prepares them even more for their pre-school years.

Understanding each child is unique and has their own schedule/routine, the Fort Worth Montessori School Infant program is committed to promoting quality Montessori infant care for children from six weeks to eighteen months based on these concepts:
  • To foster the development of basic trust and to assist in the normal development of the child's personality.
  • Basic trust will develop due to our staff responding appropriately to the infant's needs to feel loved, respected, and accepted.
  • Infants learn by using their senses through watching and moving freely.  Freedom to move is essential to the development of the infant's potential.  Having such a low number of children allows the infants to move around to their hearts content.
  • The infant is considered as a whole person and is affected by the quality of their environment.
  • Learning, which leads to independence, occurs when infants participate in their daily routines of care which includes a daily report to help families know how their little ones day went, what items they worked on, their feeding, sleeping and diaper routine and what milestones they've accomplished​.
We pride ourselves with having highly qualified caregivers throughout our school especially our infant rooms. We do our best to make sure your infant has the same caregiver every day.   We try to match our babies schedules with our available caregivers but we can't fulfill every child's schedule.  We know how important it is for the growth and development of a child to have the same caregiver every single day but understanding our caregivers have their own schedules as well. We can promise your little one will get spoiled with love with the room full of care-givers who work with your child day in and day out.​
