Introduction to the Nido Environment – A Child’s First Nest
In the first months of life, a child needs a warm and nurturing place — where every smile and every small movement is received with love and respect.
The Nido Class (The Nest) at Tiny Flower Montessori School — the stage that forms the foundation for physical growth, emotional security, language development, and trust.
At Tiny Flower Montessori, every element is prepared with care and intention:
-
A peaceful space with soft natural light, helping the child feel safe and at home.
-
Beds, mats, mirrors, and Montessori materials arranged at a low level encourage freedom of movement and exploration.
-
Tiny Flower Montessori teachers work with love, patience, and deep understanding of each stage of a child’s development.
Areas of Learning in the Montessori Environment
During the Nido stage, children learn through their senses and whole-body movement. Every motion, every touch, and every sound helps build neural connections and fosters cognitive and perceptual development.
Everything in the Nido environment — materials, objects, and actions — is designed to:
-
Awaken a sense of order, movement awareness, and control.
-
Help the child distinguish, compare, and refine sensory impressions.
-
Build willpower, concentration, and independence.
Daily activities are viewed as a child’s first lessons in life, nurturing inner order and natural independence. The key areas include:
-
Practical Life – Everyday life skills
-
Sensorial – Development of the senses
-
Movement & Coordination – Gross and fine motor development
-
Language – Early communication and expression
-
Emotional & Social Development – Trust, attachment, and social connection
At Nido, each child is cared for with deep respect, listened to even before they can speak, and gently encouraged toward natural independence.
It is not merely a place of care — it is a nest that nurtures the soul and lays the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
