Infant
A Cozy Home Away from Home
6 weeks - 18 months
It begins here. Your infant’s mind is sensitive and is developing rapidly. He is eager to make new discoveries each day! This once-in-a-lifetime process is supported with unconditional love in our Montessori infant program.
Peace of mind
No need to worry – your infant will be nurtured in a beautiful, safe and clean environment. From rigorous background checks for teachers, to CPR/First Aid Training for all staff, to a comprehensive school emergency plan, rest assured that we have thought of every detail to protect your child’s well-being.
An environment optimized for your infant
Our classrooms are designed entirely around the needs of your child. A soft mat cushion falls. Infant size shelves display beautiful materials designed to stimulate your child’s senses. Teachers speak in gentle tones and the decor is understated and homelike. Your child will feel right at home in an environment created just for him or her.
Close communication with you
Crawling. First words. Walking. What was impossible yesterday seems easy today. We celebrate these milestones and keep in close communication with you to ensure we are always doing what is best for your child’s development.
“PMA is the best place to send your kids. My kids have only been here for a couple months but every single staff member has so much love for both of them. I never have to be worried about my kids when I drop them off because I know they will be getting the best care. I’m so glad I found this school!”

“My 3-1/2 year old grandson has attended Allen Montessori Academy since he was 4 months old. If you are looking for that personal touch and a school whose management and staff truly care about each child, then AMA is what you are looking for. I have always appreciated the personal attention my grandson has received as well the competent and skilled staff and management. Two thumbs up, five stars!”

Well trained professionals
Infant classrooms are led under fully trained supervision of the Head of Instructions.. The training program they have attended is a thorough education in child development from birth to age three and prepares the teachers to create an optimal program for your child. More than just a job – our teachers have a career of choice because of their love for infants, their interest in Montessori education and their unwavering commitment to do what is best for children.
Adult : Child Ratio
Infants can never have too much love, care and affection. To ensure your child receives personalized attention, our infant program provides one adult for every four children and State of Texas approved ratios for larger groups.
Trust through consistency
Your infant is sensitive to change and routine, and we make every effort to ensure consistency to help your child feel safe and comfortable. Our program is offered on a five-day schedule. Sleep and eating schedules are based on your child’s individual needs, which are carefully observed and documented for communication with you when you return.
Part of a larger educational community
At 18 months, your child is ready for greater challenges. Our school provides a continuum of Montessori education and your child will have a seamless transition to the
Toddler program. Planned well in advance, this process is designed to make both you and your child comfortable. A meeting with the new teacher and brief classroom visits in advance of the move facilitate the transition.
