BASIC NEEDS OF TRUST
Every child is a whole person. They are affected by the quality of holding, meals, and quality of physical care. The baby instinctively cries to reach out to the parent to communicate his needs. When the parent responds, the baby learns to trust and feels safe.
We strive to continue this process of trust-building when the child arrives at Discover New Horizon Montessori. To support and build trust with the whole family unit, we learn from the parents the uniqueness of this individual infant.

Independence is fostered and nurtured in our lovely infant classroom setting for the child:
-
Plenty of floor space for children to move and explore, as they are ready.
- We follow the natural sleeping and waking process for the child.
- The child’s natural hunger patterns determine their meals and feedings.

FREE MOVEMENT
There are no high chairs, swings, or containers for holding an infant in an Infant Montessori environment. That is why the placement of all the materials in our Nido: Infants Program are on low shelves or on the floor. Mats, rugs, low-chairs, and tables are available. The Nido infant is in an area where they are free to move as desired, to absorb the entire environment. Sleeping, feeding schedules, and diaper changes are individually based and recorded from home to school each day. We strive to communicate with parents daily to be sure we are meeting the needs of the constantly changing infant.
