Toddler Program

The Toddler Program provides a warm, inviting setting for our youngest students, age 18 months to 2 ½ years, and welcomes them to the Montessori classroom. The nurturing environment supports the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development of each child as they continue their growth toward independence. Learning is child-directed and focuses on socialemotional learning.

All areas of the Montessori classroom are present including Practical Life, Sensorial, Math, Language, Cultural, Geography, Science, and Peace. The Montessori materials, which are slowly introduced to the children in small group lessons, are on shelves in their respective locations for the children to choose at will. Working with these materials fosters concentration, independence, and the development of gross and fine motor skills. Circle Time, which builds a sense of community, includes songs and finger plays that support emerging language and math skills. Additionally, the children enjoy Creative Movement, Music, Art, and Spanish.
