Parent-infant bonding, which takes place roughly between 0-16 months, is an integral part of child development. The actions parents take and the attention they provide during this time can help children immensely when it comes to developing their learning abilities later in life, as well as aid parents in learning to observe, respect and understand their child's unique personality. This fall, Monarch Montessori, one of the premier Montessori schools in Passaic County, NJ, is providing new parents with Saturday morning classes where they participate in group discussions, learn about the Montessori Method, and find support from other parents with similarly-aged children.
