In Montessori Infant-Toddler environments, sensory development is closely connected to movement and early exploration. As children begin to intentionally reach, grasp, and bring objects to their mouth, they are building coordination and understanding of their surroundings. Carefully prepared materials allow the child to engage with purpose, supporting the development of the visual, tactile, and auditory senses through direct experience.
