How to Incorporate Montessori Principles into Your Holiday Traditions
This beautifully designed classroom is set up for those wee ones who do not walk or crawl and those who have progressed to crawling and toddling. Pinnacle’s specially trained Montessori teachers focus on little ones who range in age 6 weeks through 13 months. The classroom is brightly lit and there are activities planned throughout the day to provide your child the love, attention, and learning, you would expect from a Montessori environment. Our Montessori teachers begin verbalizing to your child, naming the environment around them. Dr. Montessori teaches that the children are in the midst of the developmental stage of the ‘Absorbent Mind’, meaning your little one is taking in data surrounding them at a rate that will be heretofore unmatched throughout the rest of their lives, this stage continues to about the age of six years of age. This is the very reason babies learn their mother tongue without language lessons! There will also be activities for large motor skills, colors matching, shape matching. There will be songs and finger plays, story time, everything the ‘big kids’, also known as ‘Toddlers’, will experience, the little ones will, at their own developmental level.
The younger children who are not walking or crawling will be held, snuggled, and always loved. We here at Pinnacle Montessori recognize you have entrusted your dearest treasure into our care, with that in mind, feeding, changing positions, diapering, and napping, will be taken care of according to their specific needs. There will be face to face interactions during their length day with us. As they get older and their skills advance, we have walkers, jumpers, soft play climbers, grasping/dropping toys, and pushing toys. Then as they become ready, age appropriate large motor activities and games. The classroom areas of activity are divided, walkers and non-walkers for safety. The Infant Montessori Class will often go for a stroll in the buggy, weather permitting outside, otherwise in the gymnasium.
Our highly trained and experienced teachers understand the unique needs of infants and are dedicated to providing individualized care and attention. They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where infants feel secure and supported. Our teachers foster a sense of trust and bond with each child, ensuring that they feel loved and nurtured throughout the day.
In our Infants Montessori program, we follow the principles and practices developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. We believe that infants are capable and eager learners who need an environment that allows them to actively engage with their surroundings. Our classrooms are carefully designed to be safe and inviting, with age-appropriate materials and equipment that promote exploration and independence.

As part of our commitment to holistic development, we also emphasize the importance of building healthy relationships and social skills. Infants have the opportunity to interact with their peers and teachers in a supportive and respectful environment. They learn to take turns, share, and collaborate, laying the foundation for positive social interactions in the future.
