nido

nido (italian meaning: nest)

The Montessori infant environment at NMS is carefully prepared to allow for freedom of movement, development of independence, language and will. You will find a nurturing “homelike” environment that is both peaceful and engaging. The infant guides are observers of your child’s development and become an extension of your family sharing their observations and allowing for a routine or schedule that follows your infants natural sleep and feeding patterns.

“Watching a child makes it obvious that the development of his mind comes through his movements.”

— Maria Montessori

Welcome to the Newburyport Montessori School Nido Program for infants.  We are very excited to be a nurturing part of your child’s growth and development.  Below is an overview of what you can expect from our philosophy.
