As exciting as it is to watch your little one grow, it can be stressful to know that he won’t always be under your care. While you strive to be there as often as you can, there will be times that you have work, or an appointment, or perhaps just need a little break. In these moments, you’ll need a safe alternative to your own watchful eye.
As an infant, your little one will most likely be glued to your hip. In the rare instance that you must step away, community play groups and neighborhood day cares are ideal ways to keep him occupied. Overseen by people that you know and trust, your child will have the opportunity to play with others and develop age-appropriate skills. With coordination, you may even find that the group becomes a support network for you, too!
As the developmental years press on, you’ll want more than just a play group for your little tyke. Rather than enrol him in a run-of-the-mill daycare program, consider an early education alternative that will prepare him for both school and adolescence. Perfectly suited to this task, the Montessori Method is a unique approach to learning that allows your little one to master his sense of self by utilizing his strengths and skills. Encouraged to challenge his own curiosity, the Montessori classroom ensures that your child develops the intellectual, social, and physical tools that he will need as he grows.
At Alpine Montessori, we value your child’s education and are proud of the experiential environment that our school provides. To learn more about our unique and integrated approach, contact us at Alpine Montessori or give us a call to stop by in person. Welcome to our family!
