We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and caring environment for our children, their families, and our community.

The Montessori Infant/Toddler Environment

During the first three years of life, a child’s brain absorbs more information from the environment than at any other part of his 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.

The Montessori Infant/Toddler environment provides a safe, calm, 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 his own independence.

How Do We Envision Montessori at Tiger Lily Montessori

• We believe that children are intrinsically good.

• We believe that the natural state of children is positive and that children will do the right thing if given the opportunity.

• We believe  children are intrinsically peaceful and thrive in gentle environments that allow children of differing ages to interact with less conflict and more joy.

• We believe children are intrinsically motivated to learn and that this motivation blossoms in conducive learning environments.
