INFANTS
From the time they are born, babies are spectacular learners. They immediately investigate the sights, sounds, and feel of their environment. Our classrooms foster and support a sense of independence, allowing each child to develop and emerge into their unique individuality.
About our Infant Care
6 Weeks to 12 Months
Our infant Montessori program provides infants with a secure and rich world full of possibilities for lively discovery and delight through moving, feeling, hearing, and touching. Their environment at Kids Montessori Academy is filled with responsive interactions and verbal communication that encourage open avenues of connection
​
At KMA, our curriculum is designed for comprehensive development at their own natural rate. Learning and caring are always together. Our teachers and caregivers offer constant care in a setting that nurtures a collection of sensory stimulation and mobility. A baby who senses genuine connection, trust, and safety will also mirror those feelings as they grow and explore their surroundings.
