Welcome to Cypresswood Montessori's Infant Program, where we provide a nurturing and safe environment designed to support your baby’s earliest stages of development. Our program is specifically tailored for infants aged 6 weeks to 12 months, focusing on creating a warm, loving, and responsive setting that meets the unique needs of each child.
We understand that the first year of life is a critical period for your baby's growth and development. Our infant classroom is thoughtfully designed to be a peaceful and secure space, filled with soft, natural materials that encourage exploration and comfort. Every element in our environment is carefully chosen to promote sensory experiences and to foster your baby’s cognitive, emotional, and physical development.

Program Goals
​
-
Foster a Sense of Security and Trust: Our primary goal is to create a strong, trusting relationship with each baby, helping them feel secure and loved in their new environment. Through consistent, gentle interactions, we provide the emotional support your baby needs to thrive.
-
Encourage Sensory Exploration: We provide a rich sensory environment where infants can explore different textures, sounds, and visual stimuli, aiding in the development of their sensory perception and cognitive abilities.
-
Support Early Language Development: Through engaging interactions, songs, and storytelling, we lay the foundation for language development, helping infants recognize sounds, words, and eventually, their meanings.
-
Promote Physical Development: We encourage the development of gross and fine motor skills through activities like tummy time, reaching, grasping, and crawling, which are essential for building strength and coordination.
-
Nurture Social-Emotional Growth: Our caregivers model positive interactions, fostering the early development of social skills such as bonding, empathy, and the ability to form healthy relationships with others.
-
Create a Safe and Healthy Environment: Ensuring the safety and well-being of every infant is paramount. We maintain a clean, secure environment with a low caregiver-to-infant ratio, allowing for personalized attention and care.
Individualized Care and Attention:
Our dedicated caregivers are trained to provide personalized care that responds to the individual rhythms and needs of each baby. We focus on building strong, trusting relationships through consistent, gentle interactions that help your baby feel secure and loved. From feeding and diapering to naptime and play, every routine is an opportunity for meaningful connection and learning.
​
Stimulating Learning Experiences: Even the youngest minds are eager to explore the world around them. Our infant program incorporates age-appropriate activities that stimulate curiosity and support early learning. Through sensory play, music, movement, and language-rich interactions, we help your baby begin to develop key skills that lay the foundation for future growth.
​
Health and Safety: The health and safety of your baby are our top priorities. Our infant classroom is equipped with the highest standards of cleanliness and safety, ensuring a healthy environment for your little one. We maintain a low caregiver-to-infant ratio to ensure that every child receives the individual attention and care they need.
​
Communication and Partnership with Families: We believe that a strong partnership with families is essential to providing the best care for your baby. We maintain open lines of communication with parents, offering regular updates on your child’s progress and milestones. You are always welcome to share insights about your baby’s preferences, routines, and needs, helping us to provide care that aligns with your family’s values and expectations.
Laying the Foundation for Lifelong Learning: At Cypresswood Montessori, we are committed to laying the groundwork for your baby’s lifelong love of learning. Our infant program is more than just a daycare—it’s a place where your child’s natural curiosity is nurtured, where every moment is an opportunity to learn, and where your baby’s first steps into the world of education are filled with warmth, care, and joy.
