Also known as our Nido, or “nest” in Italian, Arcadia Montessori’s infant room provides a safe and nurturing environment that honors our youngest students’ earliest stages of development. Serving as young as 3 months old, our trained Montessori guides start by observing every infant’s natural rhythm to value their individualism as soon as they are in our care. The calm and supportive space for our infants is designed to build trust, independence, and to create a foundation for a love of learning. Our guides work to create a partnership with families to create a seamless connection and transition from a child’s home routine to our school community’s routine.

• Floor beds that allow the children to move independently and develop body awareness

• Low shelves displaying developmentally appropriate materials to inspire curiosity
