This new series of furniture will for certain enhance your Montessori classroom. Although many of the same concepts used in designing furniture for the older child's environment apply in an Infant / Toddler environment, due to the size and developmental age of these young children there are a number of important factors that must be considered. One of the key concepts in this environment is learning to be independent. Rather than using the traditional 'high' furniture, which rely on adult intervention, the furniture is lower in height and smaller in size. Our Infant / Toddler line of furniture is made from birch wood. The Infant shelves are open, and low to the ground with only a top and bottom shelf. This allows both the infant and the teacher to see through the shelves while maintaining a safe barrier. Our Infant / Toddler line of furniture is made from birch wood. Size: 73.5 x 30 x 64cm. All Nienhuis Montessori products are AMI accredited.
