We are often asked what Montessori baby looks like in Aurora and Lumen, here are a few pieces pulled from our infant/toddler Guide's daily thematic flows

Soft & Breezy

Intention: Today I will reflect upon the gentle, unfolding nature of sensory exploration, much like a breeze softly carrying new experiences.

Sensory Exploration items

  • Silk Scarves
  • Feather
  • Soft finger puppets
  • Faux fur swatch
  • Wooden cup
  • Chamomile-infused cloth

 

Language and Music Engagement 

  • Poem of the week 
  • Good morning song 
  • Two gentle hands: wave hello
  • Storytelling 
  • Soft finger puppets while naming and narrating

 

 

Cool & Refreshing

Intention: Today I will notice quiet moments of self-discovery and fresh sensations that may awaken curiosity.

Sensory & Exploration

  • Chilled cotton cloth - Explore temperature contrast on fingers and toes
  • Polished stones - Moonstone, amber, cool touch
  • Ryuichi Sakamoto's recording of pure arctic waters

 

Language & Engagement

Earthy & Grounding 

Reflection: “The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth.” - Dr. Montessori

Independent play & practical life

  • Wicker basket (taking out and putting in objects)
  • Beeswax- polished wooden spoon

 

Meal time & Winding down
