Montessori environments for infants and toddlers are prepared to be as homelike as possible, and to involve small children in a round of daily activities including quiet times and rest periods. The characteristics of these environments include:
continuity of care
an ordered physical environment
consistency of activity and expectation.
In environments with these characteristics infants build a sense of security, a sense of order and a sense of time.
