Nido（5M～1Y7M）親子活動在做什麼呢？
在這裡，我們沒有既定的課程，我們提供給孩子一個準備好(符合孩子高度與尺寸的用品用具)的環境，讓孩子能依照自己的步調進行探索，透過眼睛、耳朶、手腳四肢，來與環境產生互動並收集知識。
在這裡，我們會介紹並品嚐當季蔬菜水果，也會分享歌曲、手指謠與故事來豐富孩子的生活經驗和語彙。
在這裡，我們邀請父母放慢腳步一同觀察孩子，傾聽他的需要，等待孩子並陪伴他成長。
在這裡，父母可以與其他的家長一同分享交流育兒的酸甜苦辣，也歡迎將活動過程中的一些小技巧帶回家並落實。
IC親子活動（1Y8M～3Y6M）內容如下：
我們依照蒙特梭利環境設計有食物準備區、藝術區、手眼協調操作區、語言圖書角區、日常生活練習區⋯⋯等工作（教具），讓小朋友自己或老師家長協助他們選擇，老師會示範工作，老師或家長適當的協助讓小朋友自己動手作。
在這裡，我們所準備的工作都是為了提供孩子動手做的機會，家長們可觀察和詢問老師如何帶領孩子工作，並盡可能鼓勵孩子自己完成。
工作的目地是讓孩子在做的過程中獲得滿足和自信，所以我們一方面鼓勵孩子自己動手做，另外一方面也協助孩子、幫助孩子自己可以做得到。
我們會從孩子可以做得到的事情開始，慢慢地當孩子自己準備好以後，孩子會挑戰更難的工作，讓自己能變得更好。
在這裡，孩子可以自由選擇想要做什麼，若一開始孩子只在一個區塊工作也無須擔心，透過不斷的重複練習及觀察同儕，孩子慢慢會拓展自己的區域。
透過觀察孩子選擇工作的方式，我們也可以認識到孩子的特質和喜好。
家長也可以在家裡準備一些孩子喜歡做的事讓孩子有更多練習的機會！
What does Nido (5M～1Y7M) parent-child class offer?
Here, we don't have a set curriculum. We provide children with a prepared environment (furniture and appliances that suit the child's height and size) so that children can explore at their own pace, interact with the environment through their eyes, ears, hands, feet, and limbs and generate knowledge through the interactions.
We will introduce and taste seasonal vegetables and fruits, sing songs and rhymes, and tell stories to enrich children's life experience and vocabularies.
Here, we also invite parents to slow down and observe the child, listen to his/her needs, wait for the child, and grow together with him.
Parents can also share the parenting journey with other parents or teachers.
The contents of IC parent-child activities (1Y8M～3Y6M) are as follows:
According to the Montessori learning environment, we have designed the areas into the food preparation area, art area, hands-eyes coordination sensorial area, language books corner area, daily practical life area, and others. Children are free to choose their works, or teachers and parents help children to choose from. Teachers will demonstrate how to work, when children need, teachers or parents would provide appropriate assistance for children to complete the task themselves.
Here, the works we have prepared are to provide children with hands-on practicing opportunities. Parents can observe, ask teachers how to lead their children to work when needed, and encourage their children to do the tasks by themselves as much as possible.
The purpose of the work is to let the children gain self-satisfaction and self-confidence in the process of doing it. Therefore we should encourage the children to do it by themselves, and also assist the children to complete the tasks themselves.
We will start with what the child can do, and slowly when the child is ready, he/she will challenge himself/herself better by choosing harder work.
Here, children can freely choose what they want to do. If the child only works in one area at the beginning, it is ok. Through repeated practices and observation of peers, the child will gradually expand his/her activity areas.
By observing how the child chooses a work, we can also recognize the child's characteristics and preferences. Parents can also prepare similar tasks at home for their child that the child has more opportunities to practice.
