INFANT (6 WEEKS - 12 MONTHS)

Full Day Program: 7:00 am – 6:00 pm
School Day program 8:00 am- 3:00 pm

Our infant program is designed for babies, ages 6 weeks-12 months, to thrive in a calm setting with loving and attentive teachers. In Our Montessori environment, the infant program focuses on building a robust foundation towards their different aspects of growth.

With our 1:4 ratio, each child benefits from one on one time with their teacher as they learn to master age appropriate skills such as rolling over, reaching, pulling up and walking. Since one of the important part of Montessori is to follow the child, so we also check on each baby’s individual schedule provided to us by parents and work to get them on a schedule for when they transition into our Pre-Toddler program.

Our primary goal is to provide them a safe, secure, and loving environment where they start building trust. It is such an amazing time in our infant room when we get to witness them reach their milestones and their personalities begin to shine.

Our Montessori materials in this room are designed to develop baby’s fine and gross motor skills, as well as an understanding of cause and effect. We encourage children to move out of highchairs and cribs and into low tables and nap mats. We also work to encourage the children to feed themselves leading to more independence.

Toddler years are one of the most important years in child’s development. During this stage, the child is actively seeking out information and developing their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills. Our Toddler program provides not only nurturing environment but also age appropriate opportunities for the toddlers to develop their skills to their fullest potential.

At Applebee Montessori, toddlers get engage in many individual and group activities, music, storytelling, arts and crafts, practical life skills including matching, sorting and pouring, and large muscle coordination.

This program is created to allow children to begin to understand their meaningful role in the care of their environment and themselves. All shelves, tables and chairs are of an appropriate size as to increase a child’s independence. The children in this room begin to become aware of others and further develop their social emotional skills while remaining engaged in a safe and peaceful environment, designed for their unique needs.
