The Nurtury is committed to promoting quality Montessori child care for children from 6 weeks to 6 years old, based on these key American Montessori Society concepts:
The aim of a Montessori program is to foster the development of basic trust and to assist in the normal development of the personality.
Basic trust develops in an environment where people respond appropriately to the child’s communication of needs to be loved, respected and accepted. Children learn through their senses. They learn by watching and moving freely. Freedom to move is essential to the development of the infant’s potential. The child is considered as a whole person and is affected by the quality of holding and feeding, as well as the quality of physical care. Learning, which leads to independence, occurs when children participate in their daily routines of care. Children must be spoken to in the language with which they will communicate.
