Infant Program
At Arcadia Montessori, our youngest students are guided with love as they explore and begin to discover themselves and the world around them. The absorbent mind of childhood is constantly at work, taking in every new experience. From birth, children begin to absorb language, discover movement and create sensory impressions.
Our infant classroom, housed at our 52nd Street Campus, is a safe and happy environment for the young child. Our infant classroom allows the child space, freedom, and time to move. Different from traditional childcare, our Montessori infant room follows the child and does not include items such as cribs, high-chairs, playpens, or walkers.
