Montessori Infant Program Plano

Are you curious whether your toddler is the right fit for our toddler program? Here are some quick facts about how we mold some of our youngest minds through caring and developmentally appropriate daily activities:

• Care for self and the environment are stressed during lessons on practical life and daily living. The children are particularly sensitive to language development, sensorial stimuli, and movement at this age, so their daycare environment is prepared to maximize language and gross motor experience.
• They can develop physical coordination, enjoy music and rhythm exploration, and learn using their whole bodies. By working with the children’s natural tendencies, we show them that we respect their childhood, thus encouraging them to enjoy learning.
• Both indoor and outdoor environments are rich in language experiences. Children’s literature is always available to the children for their own exploration. Story time may occur in quiet corners of the classroom under a canopy. Oral language development is encouraged through social interaction, as well as through songs and rhymes.
• The search for independence and self-sufficiency expands exponentially as children start walking and begin to talk. Academic learning is indirect, introducing more sensorial exploration and adults’ giving the language to describe the experience.

At our Plano Montessori campus, we take pride in the concepts we embed in the minds and lives of the toddlers we serve. Our experienced caregivers help nurture each child based on their individual needs and apply the following concepts to our daily curriculum:

• Meal times include eating independently, drinking from an open mouth cup and putting away the dishes when done.
• Children at our Montessori school’s daycare gradually move from independent to group schedules: eating together, napping at the same time and even sitting together, napping at the same time and even sitting together to hear a story.
