Nido Class

The infant community is called a ‘nido’ – Italian for ‘nest’ and the learning environment is designed to meet the developmental needs of babies to approximately 16 months of age.

The ‘nido’ environment is especially prepared to stimulate the young infant and is divided into five areas: movement, eating, sleeping, physical care and outside. The focus of the infant environment is on fostering basic trust in the child. The Montessori adult has a caring, respectful response to the infant’s needs, both physical and psychological and conveys the message of unconditional love and acceptance.

There are very few Montessori nido communities for children under 16 months in Takoradi.
