Montessori Toddler

Our Toddler program provides so much more than childcare. Our classrooms are constructed to allow your child's emerging independence to shine. This helps develop and promote learning objectives such as:

• Self-care: washing, dressing, toileting, and eating, according to each child’s individual capacity
• Care of the environment: cleaning, food preparation, and food service; plant care and animal care
• Large-motor activities (indoors and out): walking, climbing, running, jumping, balancing, climbing steps, and more
• Fine motor skills: reaching, grasping, picking up objects, transferring objects, using tools and utensils, doing artwork
• Language: naming objects, describing actions and intentions, discussing pictures, conversation, music, and singing 
• Social skills: developing manners through interactions with peers, teachers, and adult-led small group games.

Our Toddler classroom keeps the environment language-rich to allow your children to develop a broad vocabulary. Within this environment, independent play is encouraged to foster curiosity and creativity. Self-care areas bring awareness to toilet training and maintaining personal hygiene (wiping one's nose and independent hand washing). Nap time includes individual floor cots allowing for even more autonomy. Meal times consist of gross motor activities with low tables for preparing, serving, eating, and cleaning up their food items.
