Montessori Infant Childcare Program
Our Montessori infant childcare center in Passaic County, NJ offers an award winning program parents love. At this tender age, children have a great motivation to explore their environment through their senses. In this safe, clean and gentle infant daycare environment, babies will be nurtured, provided with opportunities to grasp, reach, climb, and cruise, exercising both their fine and gross motor skills. They will learn the beginnings of language through modeling by teachers of object naming, being spoken to, and through song. In this multi-age setting, they will learn the beginnings of socialization with other children, be treated with love, respect and much affection.
Our Montessori daycare approach ensures every child feels supported and inspired to grow at their own pace.

What to Expect With Our Little Falls Infant Childcare Program
Imagine your 4-month old feeding herself with a spoon. Your 18-month-old joyfully picking out his clothing and dressing himself. Your 2-year-old helping her baby sister put on her shoes. This is the power of Montessori at work in the lives of young children. Dr. Maria Montessori, the Italian educator and scientist who, more than 100 years ago, developed the system of education that bears her name, knew that during the period from birth to age 3, your child’s brain develops more rapidly than at any other time, and more learning takes place than at any other stage of development. Yet many parents don’t seek out formal education until their children have passed the toddler age. Recognizing the importance of these formative years, the Montessori approach to infant and toddlers supports starting earlier than that. In a Montessori environment or infant daycare, your child will be with teachers—loving, nurturing, and rigorously trained in child development—who create peaceful, supportive, and safe environments for our youngest children. In these spaces, a child’s natural passion for wonder, curiosity, exploration, and discovery comes alive.

One of the hallmarks of a Montessori education is the mixed age classrooms. Older students can often be found mentoring the younger ones. They have recently mastered these skills and activities themselves, and are happy to share with others. This is something that is unique to the mixed-aged dynamic of a Montessori classroom.
Children are given plenty of opportunity to socialize with others who are of various ages, both in the classroom and on the playground. Children interacting with each other often form lasting bonds.
The Montessori Method encourage development through real life examples. Students are encouraged to learn things that will help them in their everyday lives through Practical Life Activities, such as trying new foods or cleaning up after themselves.
