Toddler Program – Birth to 3 Years Old
Our school offers a Toddler Program where a parent or carer attends with their child for two hours, once or more a week. Our authentic Montessori environment encourages independence, a love of learning, positive parenting and stronger child-adult connections. The beautifully prepared environment is specific to the Toddler’s needs, ensuring it fosters the child’s growing independence, freedom of movement and self-discipline.
The period from birth to 6 years is an amazing period of development. Key to this are opportunities that allow for the development of the child as an individual being. In order to fulfill this goal, children interact actively with the concrete world by using all their senses.
Our Toddler Program focuses on:
- Practical life skills, e.g. food preparation and clean up
- Language acquisition, e.g. greeting, singing and story time
- Sensory development, movement to music
- Fine motor control, creative work and outdoor play
Young children are not aware of learning but are drawn to activities that develop skills in talking, movement, interaction with people, tasting, smelling, hearing, seeing, touching and creating order. Our carefully planned-out Toddler space and materials appeal to the child’s need for order, freedom of movement and repetition. These experiences are encountered through many activities, including practical life, language, sensory exploration and grace and courtesy.
