Monti Kids Montessori Newborn Kit Monti Kids was founded with the mission of helping families support their baby during the most critical years of development. In fact, the most dramatic growth occurs from birth to age three, when 85% of the brain is formed. Research shows that brain development is cumulative, so the early years literally lay the foundation for future learning. And yet, there is an education void during the most formative years of a person’s life. The Montessori Newborn Kit was educator-designed and based on the Montessori Method to nurture baby’s visual tracking, tummy time core development, grasp development, instill an early joy of reading, physical development and concentration from birth. It’s the only newborn gift set that, in addition to toys, includes an introduction to the Montessori Method through a 6-week parent course of instructional videos, research, tips and activities to make those first months of parenthood that much easier. The Montessori Newborn Kit Includes: - Crochet ball, silicone teether and wooden rattle - Baby animals’ wooden book - Cotton rope basket - 5 double-sided black and white cards - Wood and acrylic tummy time mirror and stand - Access to Parent Learning Center videos and articles addressing newborn development, toy introduction videos, activities beyond the toys (3 activities a week for 6 weeks) - Membership in an online parent community led by a Montessori expert.
