Infants & Toddlers:
iGrow Montessori has structured all programs by keeping in mind the different stages of growth in order to fulfill the needs of each child at a certain age. Thus ensuring that all requirements and needs of the child are considered. Each program offers a selection of Montessori materials complemented by academic curriculum. It is in each of these programs that teachers are very much aware of not only the physical needs of each child, but also the formation of their character, emotional, and intellectual development.
Infants (6 Weeks - 11 Months) | Toddlers (12 months - 23 months) |
Our
infant program aids children from the age group
6 weeks to 11 months. The program for infants
is designed to satisfy
an infant’s needs to grow and develop to their
fullest potential. We incorporate flexible plan
that allows each child to eat, sleep and play
according to their schedule. Our safe and spacious
classroom provides freedom of movement, allowing
the child to move freely and explore the
environment. The room is decorated tastefully
with mobiles, educational toys, books to further
develop their visual, auditory and tactile
senses.
Cleanliness and hygiene is
a vital in infant classroom. All the toys and
equipment are disinfected every day to prevent
the spread of germs. The food provided will be
refrigerated and then warmed up in the
microwave, before feeding, depending on parent
advice. Our
caregivers provide the child with loving care,
instilling trust, security and providing comfort
to the child and develop a strong bond with each
other. As our infant curriculum is based on
development on motors skills, the caregivers
engage the child with various gross motor skill
activities, songs, finger plays and outdoor
experience. Caregivers interact with the child
through educational material and toys to
stimulate the development of speech and to learn
new vocabulary. Monitoring the child’s schedule
and communicating their accomplishments,
tendencies, and concerns is the daily routine of
the caregiver. We will share our thought with
parents and together we can work together to
provide the best program for your child. |
