INFANT CHILD CARE | 6 WEEKS TO 18 MONTHS | Monday - Friday 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m
The infant daycare program serves children from six weeks to 18 months. The program is designed to duplicate the loving care and gentle stimulation that an infant needs to grow and develop to his or her full potential. Flexible scheduling allows each child to eat, sleep, or play according to their own natural timetable.
HOME-LIKE FEEL
Our nursery environment is beautifully enhanced with a home-like feel in soft, muted colors with lots of natural sunlight. The room is equipped to provide freedom of movement and gentle stimulation.
All equipment and Montessori materials are of various textures to enhance the daycare learning experience. The children work on their various stages of development throughout the day within the carefully prepared environment. When the weather is appropriate, they are taken outside for fresh air and to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.

ONE-ON-ONE ATTENTION
ONE-ON-ONE ATTENTION
The Montessori caregiver interacts with each individual child to ensure that a strong emotional bond is formed and that the environment is optimally set-up for development in all areas.
Each child’s “primary care giver” monitors the child’s schedule, accomplishments, tendencies and/or concerns which are communicated to the parents on a daily basis through our parent engagement app. We firmly believe in the need for open and thorough communication between the daycare, caregiver, and the home. Our infant programs have a maximum of 16 infants and a ratio of 1:4. We try to keep a 1:3 ratio as often as we can; this is lower than the mandated 1:4 DHHS ratio in Nebraska.

The independence of the children is very evident; you can expect to see students choosing their own work, preparing snacks by themselves, putting away their work without being asked, and assisting other students needing help. This sense of self discipline, citizenry and independence is fostered through a long and patient process. The Montessori philosophy is founded on the principle that every child can succeed.
This is a fair question, and it deserves careful consideration. The following article, Why Montessori for the Kindergarten Year, written by Tim Seldin with Dr. Elizabeth Coe offers an excellent answer.
