The Nautilus Nursery is designed for 9 children, which is the ideal number for the Montessori method, as it ensures enough socialisation and allows the teaching team to focus on and accompany the growth of each one of them.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SUS9051-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>The prepared environment and sensory materials<\/h3>\n<div>The setting encourages children\u2019s sensory development without overstimulating them. It also allows them to move around freely and safely. Materials are chosen based on their size and the children\u2019s strength. Mirrors, activity mats, play gyms, rattles, and sensory toys can be pulled, pushed, stacked, and nested, allowing children to explore and follow their instinctive curiosity while also developing their visual, tactile and auditory senses and improving balance and eye\/hand coordination. Language plays an important role in all daily activities. Children learn to absorb languages because they are associated with the activities they are performing.<\/div>\n<h3>Activities at the child\u2019s pace<\/h3>\n<div>Children are greeted at the nursery between 08:00 and 09:00 a.m. Every activity during the day is done at the child\u2019s pace, especially changing and sleeping. During early learning, children are free to explore both indoors and outdoors. Once they are familiar with the setting, they will start showing their inclination towards certain activities, which are suggested first according to how their interest in the other areas evolves. The Montessori guide monitors each child\u2019s progress and suggests new discoveries, respecting their pace and inclinations.<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SUS9023-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SUS9052-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SUS9025-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Mealtime as an educational moment<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>At the nursery, younger infants eat on their own according to a schedule. Infants who can\u2019t sit at the table yet are fed on the educator\u2019s lap while the others eat at a table their size, face-to-face with their guide. Infants who are nearly one year old and toddlers eat in groups of two or three at the same table with a teacher.<\/p>\n<p>\nHere at Nautilus, mealtimes are essential in children\u2019s growth and wellbeing. That\u2019s why we have a kitchen managed by qualified personnel who are aligned with our school\u2019s vision. Every morning, they prepare nutritious meals using only fresh, seasonal ingredients. The Montessori principles are followed even at mealtime to promote independence, the joy of discovery, and good eating habits. Mealtime is not just about nourishment. It\u2019s an essential learning experience for a child\u2019s harmonious development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Nautilus-piano_formativo-nido-_SUS0594_11zon.webp\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2>Discover the curriculum by age group<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Nautilus-piano_formativo-infant_community.webp\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<h3>Infant Community<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nautilus.school\/en\/curriculum\/infant-community\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Nautilus-piano_formativo-children_house.webp\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<h3>Children&#8217;s House<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nautilus.school\/en\/curriculum\/childrens-house\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<!-- {\"type\":\"layout\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"section\",\"props\":{\"animation\":\"fade\",\"image\":\"wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/03\\\/Nautilus-piano_formativo-nido-_SUS9019.webp\",\"image_loading\":true,\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"image_size\":\"cover\",\"image_width\":\"2560\",\"media_overlay\":\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4)\",\"padding\":\"xlarge\",\"style\":\"default\",\"title_breakpoint\":\"xl\",\"title_position\":\"top-left\",\"title_rotation\":\"left\",\"vertical_align\":\"\",\"width\":\"default\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"headline\",\"props\":{\"animation\":\"slide-top-small\",\"content\":\"CURRICULUM\",\"css\":\".el-element{color: white;}\",\"margin\":\"small\",\"title_color\":\"primary\",\"title_element\":\"h2\",\"title_style\":\"h5\"}},{\"type\":\"headline\",\"props\":{\"content\":\"Nursery\",\"css\":\".el-element{color: white;}\",\"margin_remove_top\":true,\"title_element\":\"h1\",\"title_style\":\"h1\"}},{\"type\":\"text\",\"props\":{\"column_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"content\":\"The Nursery (ages 3 to 15-16 months) is for infants who still can\\u2019t walk or have just started to walk.
