Montessori Program for Babies
& Infants & Tots
"For
the price of 1/2 of a toy at Target I have enough activities to keep
my daughter
working for a long time and I feel that I can do a better
job of offering a more natural environment for her to grow in. Thank you,
thank you, thank you!"--c_lisat
"Thank you so
much for the service you provide! My son is 11 months old and
definitely more focused on motor skills and trying to stand right now....
I really appreciate that you offer answers to everything the books don't
explain." R. F.
Help me to do it myself.--Maria Montessori
The greatness of the
human personality begins at the hour of birth. From this almost mystic
affirmation there comes what may seem a strange conclusion: that education
must start from birth.--Maria Montessori |

Montessori Program
Articles & Documents Included for Infants & Tots:
-
The Absorbent Mind
& Sensitive Perods in a Nutshell: "In the first six years of a
child’s life her mind is like a sponge, an absorbent mind, taking
in everything in the environment with energy and enthusiasm
through
sensorial
exploration, touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing, and the use of
hands-on activities. This absorbent mind creates a natural drive
that supplies the infant..."
-
Fine Motor Development:
"In
Montessori infant development, emphasis is placed on the use of the hands
as an extension of brain development (hand-eye coordination, hand-brain
coordination) beginning in the first few months of life and continuing
on into infancy and well into the toddler and preschool years, as the brain
continues to grow and develop. An infant, when grasping an object for example..."
-
How to Place Activities
in the Environment (includes graphics): "To place activities for your
baby in the environment, all you need is some floor space in each room,
a long side a wall, for your baby to crawl to (or sit them next to) and
to choose from. (A small light shelf might not be practical at this time
as babies will start to pull up to kneeling/standing and will pull the
shelf down upon them.) Each activity should be..."
-
Language Development
0 to 12 Months: "Abstract thought is developed with the help of hand-eye-brain
coordination, interaction with the environment, and the baby's first language
experiences. Exposure to language early on in a child's development is
vital: through gestures, body language, facial expressions, and the sound
of the human voice. In the first few months the baby will..."
-
Modifying Toys in
the Environment: "You can modify many of the toys in your baby’s environment.
For example, if you have a shape sorter, take the top off and use it as
a box to hold the shapes. At first, your baby will..."
-
Montessori and Infant
Sleep in a Nutshell: "In my mothers' club infant sleep is very much
an issue among moms! It seems to be one of the most controversial issues
in infant development and parenting! We are blessed, our son learned how
to sleep on his own at around three months of age. I was very, very, very
tempted to do the attachment parenting thing and keep him in our bed, but
because I am a restless sleeper, and my husband is a light sleeper, it
would have been a disaster. But what helped me understand the whole sleep
thing was..."
-
Rotating Activities
in a Nutshell: "Your baby will soon get bored with the same objects,
so starting at age 12 months you will want to rotate the objects and toys
in the environment. (This is contrary to the 2 1/2 to 6 environment where
activities stay in the environment and are repeated!) To do this..."
-
Siblings and Lessons
in a Nutshell: "You can give your older child a lesson in the morning,
while your younger child.."
-
Siblings Working
Together: "Children, especially siblings, are very social! When we
had siblings at school, they always played together, at least when first
arriving at school. This will most likely be the choice of siblings, to
play and work together: it is a natural urge, and they are close enough
in age that they can play together. In a Montessori home environment, if
you have multi-age siblings from birth to three, you need to..."
Testimonials:
"I've
been wanting to tell you -- Rhea just loves the activities.Thanks!"--Ashley
McIlvain
"Thanks
so much! I'm very pleased with the layout of your [activities] and lessons.
They are well suited for someone with Montesori experience and knowledge
like myself, yet just as informative and user-friendly for my husband and
baby's grandparents-to-be to pick up and follow. Well done!!!!"--Renay
"Your
lessons and advice have been very helpful, particularly as I'm a payroll
mother and don't have a lot of time with my son: your service is an excellent
way to stay in tune with his development, and with him, and helps us to
grow together. We like Montessori!"--Petit Canard
"Thank
you so much for the lovely information! My youngest daughter is having
her second child and I wanted to study more about Montessori and Infants.
I am AMS certified for pre-primary (2 1/2 to 6 ) and I teach on-line Montessori
Courses. I will be sure to direct my over 200 students to you for information
on infants!"--Karen Tyler, http://amontessorimarketplace.com, World Wide
