“The greatness of the human personality begins at the hour of birth.”

Nido

In the Nido program, each child is nurtured as a unique individual, encouraged to explore in a beautiful, safe, and orderly space with materials carefully chosen for their educational purpose and sensory qualities. A critical opportunity for development, these first years of life are an extraordinary period of cognitive and emotional growth, brain development, and language acquisition. Our Nido Montessori-trained teachers form close bonds with the children, nurturing language and body awareness development through freedom of movement and exploration. Under their care, the children establish a strong sense of security and autonomy, laying a foundation for lifelong learning.

From birth, babies are marvelous learners, immediately investigating the sights, sounds, and feel of the world. In our classrooms, each child develops a sense of being a separate, independent self, which comes from being treated as an important individual.

Our Montessori curriculum provides the Nido children with a safe, rich world full of opportunities for active exploration and enjoyment through hearing, feeling, touching, and moving. Their world in our Montessori program is filled with responsive interactions and language: many conversations with others, books (for even the youngest babies), songs, and lots of listening and responding to their vocalizations.

Spanish, music, baby sign language and early literacy activities enrich our children’s’ daily experiences. Campus “field trips” in the baby buggy and time to explore their specially designed outdoor environment provide the children with a view of the real world via a fantastic array of sensory stimulation.

Our program is designed for comprehensive individual development at the child’s natural pace. Caring and learning are inseparable. Our teachers and guides provide “on demand” care in an environment that maximizes mobility. A baby who feels safe also feels free to grow, move, and explore the surroundings. This provides an optimal opportunity to engage emerging physical, sensorial, perceptual, cognitive, and social skills.
