Hi Mom and Dad! (in Baby’s voice)
Did you know that I’ve been learning since the day I was born? Yep, I’ve been soaking up the world like a sponge—just like Dr. Montessori said! She called this stage the “Absorbent Mind,” which means I’m naturally curious and eager to explore.
Learning Begins Early
From the moment I opened my eyes, I’ve been figuring out how the world works. My brain is working super hard to learn about sounds, colors, and even how you smile at me. Dr. Montessori says that these early years are the most important because I’m building the foundation for the rest of my life.
How can you help?
- Talk to me, even if I’m too little to talk back.
- Let me explore safe spaces—my fingers love to touch new things!
- Show me the world, one tiny step at a time.
Sensitive Periods: My Special Windows for Learning
Sometimes, I’m extra curious about certain things, like how to hold a spoon or say new words. These are called “sensitive periods.” During these times, my brain is like a superpower—it’s the perfect time for me to learn that skill.
You can help by:
- Watching what I’m interested in.
- Giving me activities that match my curiosity.
- Letting me practice—even if I make a mess sometimes!
Why Early Education is a Gift
When you help me during these early years, you’re giving me tools I’ll use forever. Every song you sing, every book you read, and every hug you give makes me feel safe and ready to learn more.
Thank you for helping me grow! With you by my side, I’m ready to explore, dream, and become my best self.
