An example of an Infant Community in a Montessori. This video will help Parents see the difference between Play schools, daycare and a Montessori Infant Community.
Our Infant Community follows the essence and adapts the Indian aspects in many ways.
Our Infant Community environments supports natural development in children. Children from approximately eighteen months may join the community. The environment supports movement, communication, and independence within a social context.
Infant Community Hours

Option 1: 9:30 am to 12:30 pm (3 hours)
Option 2: Parents may opt to have a full day or extended hours from morning 8:30 am to 5:30 p.m.
Our Infant Community environment caters to mixed ages. Two to three trained Montessori Adults for 15-20 children with a helper to support. Activities offered, support natural development to co-ordinate and refine movements, learn to communicate in English, Tamil and Hindi - basic communications, pictures, conversations, songs, book readings, stories, grace and courtesies. Children are supported to become independent, self-confident and caring.
To understand the fundamental needs of an infant and how to support their growing independence, please email us requesting for a workshop. We would be happy to assist you. This is offered for parents who are keen on understanding but are unable to be a part of Bumblbees Casa dei Bambini Community.
The environment is maintained clean and safe with kind and supportive adults to aid natural development. An orientation will be facilitated on how the infants are cared for and assisted in our environment during the admission process.
When the child is around three years, parents may opt to continue in Infant Community if the child needs to transfer out to another school for LKG. Children whose parents wish to continue will transition to the Montessori Environment. At Bumblbees we offer the Casa dei Bambini Program only for parents who will allow their children three years (3-6 years) to learn and grow in the same environment being a part of the Montessori community. To understand why, please watch the video on the Montessori page in this website.
