0:03my name is Rachel Brunson and I am the
0:07founding director of Montessori infant
0:09nido environment one of the things that
0:12is so wonderful about this program is
0:14that we have put into play an
0:18educational curriculum for infants and
0:20toddlers that respects and honors those
0:23first three years where you are not
0:26learning your alphabet where you are
0:28learning how to move your hand where you
0:31want it to go how to experience the
0:34world the rules of the world how you put
0:37your shoes on how to put your coat on
0:40how to eat with a spoon
0:44Montessori infant nito environment is is
0:48now a team of people who are
0:50enthusiastic about Montessori curriculum
0:52not only Montessori and early childhood
0:56and giving the best but also about
0:59nutrition and peace initiatives in the
1:02classroom and a green centered
1:05curriculum at mine we celebrate food and
1:10everything that that means it offers all
1:13organic vegetarian menus it offers a
1:17seed to table experience for the
1:19children the children starting in
1:22January they plant the seeds in the
1:25classroom the shoots come up and then
1:28they go outside and they plant it and
1:30our garden is growing outside and the
1:32children get to watch it they daily grow
1:35there's not always the opportunity in
1:38every child's life to experience the
1:41food in the way that they get to it mine
1:43one of the things that is so wonderful
1:46about this program is that it is all
1:48organic that may
1:50every sheet that a child lays on every
1:54blanket every piece of food in their
1:57mouth everything is organic when
2:00teaching children it's really important
2:02to model respect one of my favorite
2:05works is in the toddler classroom and
2:07it's called difference is normal and
2:10it's a matching work with with pictures
2:13of people that are different different
2:16looking for whatever reason and simply
2:20by having that work in the classroom the
2:22children learn on a daily basis that
2:25difference is normal so this dream I had
2:31all those years ago has grown bigger and
2:34better more successful and much faster
2:36than I ever could have imagined we are
2:38bursting at the seams
2:40families want this children need it with
2:43your contributions we can make this
2:45happen now
