Nido - Infant
Age 8 weeks-15 months
The Nido Program
“Nido”, meaning “nest” in Italian, conveys Dr. Maria Montessori’s emphasis of warmth and security.
Creo’s AMI Guides promote love and connection while respecting the baby’s natural journey of development. We value that infants must have time, space, and freedom to move, so they can practice each step necessary for successful development. Creo is dedicated to attentively working with parents to aid the Guide’s observations of your family’s desires, baby’s feeding and sleeping schedules, and natural functions through a healthy, collaborative approach.
As each child learns to meet their own unique needs, they will build trusting relationships with the world around them. Children enrolled in our Nido environment are guaranteed placement in our Toddler House program.
“The child, making use of all that he finds around him, shapes himself for the future.”
The Environment
Creo believes in providing infants with a clean, beautiful, accepting, and encouraging environment. The Montessori Nido environment includes floor-to-ceiling windows, seeping with natural light as well as access to a protected outdoor space. In our Nido community, you will notice there aren’t high-chairs, playpens, or walkers – nothing restricting the development of movement.
