Parent and Child Class

In the first year, your baby is communicating constantly — with their hands, their gaze, their rhythm of movement long before they have words. Nido is an hour each week to slow down and learn to read that language. In a room prepared with floor beds, low mirrors and simple wooden materials, you'll put your baby down, step back, and watch what they do when the world is built for them.

What Nido is really about:

• Observation, not entertainment. You'll be guided to watch before you intervene the single hardest shift to make with a baby and the one that sets up everything else.
• A space where your baby is already competent. Floor-level work, low shelves, pincer-grip objects and freedom of movement, so you can see what independence looks like at this age and copy it at home.
• Pre-verbal communication and early language. Real objects named in real time, songs, and recitation how language is built before the first word arrives.
• A soft landing into parenthood. A quiet community of parents doing the same work.

When children begin to concentrate long, quiet stretches of focused work on a single activity, often surprising to the parent watching. This class protects that emerging attention, and shows you how to protect it at home. This is why the session is ninety minutes, children will benefit thing longer work cycle, and you deserve the time to see them complete one without interruption.

What Young Child is really about:

• Ninety minutes of self-chosen activity the longer session is deliberate. Children this age can concentrate far longer than we give them credit for, and the class is built around that. 
• The parent's job is to do less. You'll be guided through when to step in, when to wait, and when to let frustration do its work.
• A bridge to school. Self-care, concentration and social skills that make the transition to a Montessori 3–6 classroom (or any preschool) feel like a continuation, not a rupture.
