Infant & Toddler
INFANT & TODDLER
“Nido” is the Italian word for “nest,” symbolizing the warmth and security of a home. At Hand In Hand, we prioritize creating a nurturing and safe environment for infants to begin exploring the world. Our infant and toddler program is designed with the utmost care, giving only the best to the smallest members of our community. We provide nurturing and beautiful surroundings for infants and toddlers, allowing them to follow their natural path of development in a home-like setting. Our approach encourages independence and allows children to play, rest, and eat as they choose, at their own pace.
AREAS OF LEARNING
FAITH
Faith is an integral part of a child’s experience at Hand in Hand. Each environment includes an “Atrium.” This carefully prepared space houses an altar, sacred work, and biblical stories. We present stories and lessons to help the children know God and the way he wants us to live. We emphasize the Word and worship through which children can express their faith in Christ.
Practical Life
Practical life activities are purposeful and aim to develop motor control, coordination, independence, concentration, and a sense of responsibility. Children refine these areas by learning everyday life skills such as plant care, food preparation, and environmental care.
Math
Montessori math materials are designed to provide children with hands-on, visual, and tactile learning aids. These materials offer concrete knowledge of abstract concepts, enabling students to gain a deeper understanding.
NEVER HELP A CHILD WITH A TASK AT WHICH HE FEELS HE CAN SUCCEED.

A day in NIDO...
Our infant & toddler day care program is a uniquely designed environment providing only the best for babies and toddlers. Our restraint-free environment is nurturing and beautiful for the youngest members of our community. Both babies and toddlers freely flow throughout their day by playing when ready, sleeping when tired, and eating when hungry.
