“Nido”是一个意大利单词，在英语中译为“巢”，传达了婴儿环境的精神。婴儿的身体发育是显著且明显的，激发了我们的关心和关注。
Nido 社区是家庭走向学校之间的桥梁，我们为每个孩子的发展阶段提供各种感官体验和发展。我们引入了断奶过程。断奶是指从奶瓶过渡到用小杯子喝水，以及通过自己进食实现独立。我们大约在8个月时开始这个过程，为孩子过渡到婴儿社区（IC）做好准备。
根据孩子的技能领域和表现，在教师的仔细观察下，他/她将从 Nido过渡到婴儿社区(IC)。在这种环境中，孩子们会觉得教室是他们自己平静、特殊的空间，在其中他们在自己的照顾和环境的照顾中发挥着有意义的作用。
教室具有吸引力，材料也能适当激发兴趣。鼓励有意义的活动，有序的活动满足发展需求。我们训练有素的蒙台梭利老师会使用富有表现力的语言及戏剧性的动作，创造一个让孩子们茁壮成长的环境。
“Nido” is an Italian word which translates to “nest” in English, and conveys the spirit of the infant environment. The infant's physical development is phenomenal and apparent and inspires our care and attention.
The Nido community is the bridge between the home and school. We offer various sensorial experiences and developmental aides specifically for each individual child's stage of development. Additionally, Title 22 in the state of California mandates that there be a strict 4:1 (1 teacher for every 4 children) ratio at all times. At St. Mary’s, we keep to a 3:1 (1 teacher for every 3 children) ratio to ensure that your child is always receiving the most supervision and quality of care.
At this time we also introduce the weaning process. Weaning is the transition off of the bottle and onto drinking out of a small cup, as well as independence through self feeding. We start this process around 8 months all in preparation for the child to transition into the Infant Community.
Depending on the child's domain of skills and work, as a result of strong observation by their teachers, he/she will make the transition from Nido to the Infant Community. In this setting, the children come to feel the classroom is their own peaceful, special space where they play a meaningful role in their own care and the care of their environment.
Classrooms are inviting, and materials are appropriately stimulating. Movement is encouraged and meaningful, and ordered activities satisfy developmental needs. Our trained Montessori staff uses expressive language, which is accompanied with action, to create an environment in which the children thrive.
