Bristow Montessori School

Infant Program

An academic program for students 6 weeks through 12 months.


It begins here. Your infant’s mind is sensitive and is developing rapidly. He is eager to make new discoveries each day! This once-in-a-lifetime process is supported with unconditional love at Bristow Montessori School in our infant program.

Peace of Mind

No need to worry – your infant will be nurtured in a beautiful, safe and clean environment. From rigorous background checks for teachers, to CPR/First Aid Training for all staff, to a comprehensive school emergency plan, rest assured that we have thought of every detail to protect your child’s well-being.

An Environment Optimized for Your Infant

Our classrooms are designed entirely around the needs of your child. A low rail anchored to the wall provides support as your child pulls himself up from the floor. A soft mat cushions falls. A quiet dedicated space is designed so your child has rest. Infant size shelves display beautiful materials designed to stimulate your child’s senses. Teachers speak in gentle tones and the decor is understated and homelike. Your child will feel right at home in an environment created just for him or her.

Close Communication With You

Crawling. First words. Walking. What was impossible yesterday seems easy today. We celebrate these milestones and keep in close communication with you through our school app to ensure we are always doing what is best for your child’s development.

Well Trained Professionals

Infant classrooms are led by Certified Montessori teachers who carry a diploma in Infant/Toddler Montessori teaching, also referred to as a lead guide. The Montessori training program is a thorough education in child development from birth to age three and prepares the teacher to create an optimal program for your child. More than just a job – our Montessori teachers have a career of choice because of their love for infants, their interest in Montessori education and their unwavering commitment to do what is best for children.

Adults: 1, Children: 4

Infants can never have too much love, care and affection. To ensure your child receives personalized attention, our infant program provides one adult for every four children.

Trust Through Consistency

Your infant is sensitive to change and routine, and we make every effort to ensure consistency to help your child feel safe and comfortable. Our program is offered on a five-day schedule only, so she will be with the same children and adults every day. Sleep and eating schedules are based on your child’s individual needs, which are carefully observed and documented for communication with you when you return.

Part of a Larger Educational Community

When your child begins walking confidently and turns 12 months old, your child is ready for greater challenges. Our school provides a continuum of Montessori education and your child will have a seamless transition to the Toddler program. Our transition process is designed to make both you and your child comfortable. A meeting with the new teacher and brief classroom visits in advance of the move facilitate the transition.
