Support your child's early development

Infant classes, rooted in Montessori principles, offer a nurturing environment for parents/caregivers and babies. These classes prioritize sensory exploration, language development, and basic self-care skills.

Through a combination of structured activities and free play, infants are encouraged to develop motor skills, social and emotional awareness, and a sense of independence. The emphasis is on supporting parent/caregiver-child bonding and empowering parents/caregivers about child's early development.

Current sessions are on Wednesdays from 11am-12pm and run in 6-week blocks.
