Infant Care & Well-Being • Provide responsive and attentive care to infants, ensuring their basic needs (feeding, diapering, napping) are met in a calm and nurturing environment. • Maintain a consistent routine that aligns with the centre's Montessori principles, supporting the infant’s sense of security and independence. • Observe and respond to infants' cues and signals to provide individualized care and comfort. • Ensure hygiene and safety by regularly sanitizing play and feeding areas, maintaining proper handwashing, and following health regulations. 2. Montessori Learning & Development • Create an age-appropriate, prepared environment with Montessori materials that encourage sensory exploration, movement, and early cognitive development. • Implement Montessori-based activities such as sensorial play, practical life skills, and early language development to support infants' natural growth. • Foster independence and self-regulation by allowing infants to engage in self-directed exploration within a safe environment. • Encourage gross and fine motor development through activities such as tummy time, grasping objects, and early movement exercises. 3. Observation & Documentation • Regularly observe and record infants' developmental milestones and behaviors to track progress and tailor activities to individual needs. • Communicate observations with parents and caregivers through daily reports, photos, or digital platforms to keep them informed of their child’s progress. • Adjust the learning environment based on infants' interests and developmental stages, following Montessori principles of self-paced growth. 4. Parent Engagement & Communication • Build a positive relationship with parents by offering insights into their child’s development and Montessori philosophy. • Provide guidance on Montessori practices that parents can incorporate at home to support their child's growth. • Conduct parent-teacher conferences or informal discussions to address any concerns, answer questions, and ensure continuity of care between home and school.
