Infant Program at Wishing Well Schools
3 months to 18 months
The Wishing Well Schools Infant Program (ages 3 months to 18 months) follows the Montessori philosophy and the pedagogy of Ontario's How Does Learning Happen? document to provide a quality learning and development program for our infants. When children are provided with concrete, developmentally appropriate materials and activities, they use their senses to discover and experiment with all aspects of their world. Children may also learn by observing their environment and the people in it.
Each child develops at his or her own pace in the prepared Montessori environment with specially designed Montessori materials. These specially designed materials will aid your child during the rapid period of absorption and brain growth that occurs during the first three years of life.
As human beings, we develop our intelligence through our five senses, particularly through the relationship between the hand and the brain. Our Infant program provides activities to develop cognitive skills through work on focusing, remembering, matching, identifying and tracking. We also provide activities to develop motor skills, such as rolling, grasping, placing, stacking, and pouring. Our sensory skill development includes activities for visual tracking, experiencing sounds and volume, recognizing patterns, feeling textures, identifying objects and experiencing temperature.
