The Toddler program serves children ages 18 months to 36 months. Amid the fast pace of daily life, we have created a nurturing, unhurried place where your child can come and spend part of their day. Our program is in touch with a toddler’s curious and independent nature, supporting their intrinsic quest for autonomy. The toddler teacher is the connector to the environment, the observer and guide to self-discovery. The classroom has one Montessori Toddler Trained teacher and one assistant teacher.

Our Toddler program offers children and families a collaborative beginning in the Montessori experience. A low student-teacher ratio in our Toddler classroom helps to bridge the child’s transition from home to school. Children are provided with an opportunity to explore new relationships with friends and to interact with adults in a loving and nurturing environment. As part of their early Montessori experience, toddlers are introduced to age-appropriate Montessori materials and invited to make choices from a variety of activities that support their developmental interests and needs. The toddler’s strong sense of autonomy is encouraged and self-esteem is enhanced through social and learning experiences. Toddlers enjoy music and movement within the classroom curriculum. Snacks and outdoor play are a part of the daily routine. The toddler need not be toilet-trained since this is often a part of toddler development. Addi tionally, the school and home partnership is formed assisting the toddlers as they embark on their first school experience.
