About Our Infant Care Program
During the first three years of life, a child’s brain absorbs more information from their environment than at any other part of their lifetime. Every sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell is taken in and processed. It is an amazing, wondrous period in a tiny, complete human being’s life. At Montessori School of Chantilly, we offer an infant care program that can help them learn, grow, and develop in a stimulating and nurturing environment. We help give your baby the tools they need to begin to learn and create a solid foundation for the rest of their education.
Benefits of Our Infant Program:
Infants need caring, dedicated educators who will talk to them, sing to them and with them, and treat them with love and respect. At our school, we take this responsibility seriously. We invest in our staff through ongoing training and support, regularly survey parents for feedback, and strive to create an environment that is nurturing, engaging, and loved by infants, parents, and staff alike.
We would be more than happy to provide references from both past and current families who have entrusted us with their child’s care.

Why Infant Care Matters
The routine tasks of infant care including feeding, bathing, diapering, and soothing them are of utmost importance to the baby’s cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development. It is through these routines that the first human relationships are formed. When they are performed with sensitivity to the infant’s individual rhythms and needs, it is more likely that the individual child will develop healthily.
Our teachers in our infant care program understand just how much your baby is learning and absorbing during these early years of life. We work hard to ensure they are getting the care they need to develop and learn. Our infant care program is for children from 6 months to 16 months old. This is an important time in their life and we take pride in providing them with the care they need to thrive.
Our Classroom and Environment
The Montessori infant and toddler environment provides a safe, calm, and carefully designed setting for optimal learning that nurtures the physical and spiritual being. Sensory, cognitive, language, social, and cultural activities address the natural tendencies of the child’s developmental process. Even at this early stage, a child is soon able to make choices for their own independence.
Our Montessori teachers embrace a child-centered philosophy that demands a respect for the child and support for all of their incredible potential. Within the safety of the prepared environment and under the watchful observation and guidance the child is free to explore the world around them.
