[quote=Anonymous]You really need to do your research. The infancy program is in line with the AMI standard of Montessori. If we are going to get technical, the only real age level montessori worked with and created a system for was 3-6 (casa dei Bambini). Her earliest research was around brain development in infancy (see The Absorbent Mind). Her son, Mario Montessori developed the elementary materials, and a team of educators worked on the upper curriculum while they were in exile in India. One could even argue that Montessori wasn't the founder of her own methods, as she "borrowed" from many of her contemporaries and sold it as her own. The bottom line, is do your own research as there are no regulating bodies in Montessori. ANYONE can use her name. The infancy program has a huge following in Mexico, and they are rare here, but do exist....but are hard to find because they are expensive to run. A lot of schools don't find toddler lucrative, let alone infancy.[/quote]
