Toddler Program
Toddlers are curious and their curiosity should be fed. This is how they learn. Our program allows them to discover the world in which they live. The Montessori toddler environment is set up much like a home, with distinct areas for preparing food, eating, changing clothes, toileting, group activities, individual work, and quiet moments. By allowing the child to develop relationships with adults and children outside his/her own family, however, the Toddler Classroom offers opportunities beyond those typically available in a family home. Developing these relationships builds social skills and helps the child start to understand his/her relationship to the community and the environment.
In the Toddler Classroom, the child finds himself in a language-rich environment that supports his need to hear as well as speak. Although the child may not yet be ready to express himself verbally, he/she has plenty of time and opportunity here, so that when he/she is ready, the child will feel comfortable seizing the moment.
The child comes to master the environment and count on the predictability of its physical organization and the consistency of its schedule. The trust and respect modeled by the Montessori adults enable the child to trust in the environment, building a true connection to this community and the wider world.
