Infant Program
Program Overview
Franklin Montessori Schools' Infant Program is designed for loving caregiving for children aged 3 to 24 months. With a maximum of nine infants per class, our peaceful and developmentally rich environment is designed for uninterrupted exploration. Embracing both Montessori principles and the RIE philosophy by Magda Gerber and Dr. Emmi Pikler, we prioritize building respectful and responsive relationships between educators and students. Through sensitive interactions and expert observation techniques, our caregivers ensure that each infant and toddler receives personalized attention, fostering cognitive, linguistic, and social-emotional development in a safe and joyful space.
