Infants & Toddlers At Montessori Reggio Academy

At Montessori Reggio Academy, your child’s success is our top priority. Our professional and dedicated Montessori teachers work endlessly with our students to get them where they need to be in the classroom and the world. We teach our infants and toddlers the skills they need to transition into each stage of life while being given the building blocks to excel.

In the Classroom

At Montessori Reggio Academy, students learn at their own pace, working individually or in small groups, guided by highly trained Montessori-certified teachers. Our serene environment, with natural lighting and subdued colors, fosters focus and clarity. The curriculum ensures academic and personal success, incorporating Reggio Emilia’s child-led philosophy, where students, viewed as “knowledge bearers,” share thoughts and ideas through monthly themes and projects to deepen understanding. The Infant classroom’s cozy learning triangle encourages independence, order, and meaningful interaction between teachers, students, and the environment.
