The toddler classroom offers children a unique beginning of self-development in a warm atmosphere. The experienced teaching staff fulfills the social, physical, emotional, developmental and psychological needs of each child.

Our Toddler program follows the Montessori philosophy that encourages vocabulary development, independence, and self-confidence for each child. In this classroom, there is space for movement, individual work, and group activities. Everything in the environment is proportionate to the child's size and is designed to be safe and aesthetically pleasing. The toddler classroom offers an inviting extension (a “doorway”) between the child’s home and entrance into the future preschool classroom awaiting him.

Toddlers are presented opportunities to work in the development of language skills (phonics), basic math skills, sensorial exercises, practical life, art and music. The practical life area is particularly emphasized as the activities in this area allow children the chance to develop skills to appropriately care for themselves and their environment in the following areas: control of movement, appreciation of the environment and respect.

Of significant importance to toddlers are group activities that stimulate muscle coordination, balance and rhythm – all practiced daily. Through song and dance, and freedom of choice, the toddlers have access to a variety of large muscle (gross motor skill) activities that offer them opportunities to jump, climb, balance, crawl, or skip. These exercises, as well as creative art activities, are a daily part of the classroom routine provided under the guidance of the certified teaching staff.

This freedom and guidance provided in the toddler classroom in a safe nurturing environment is overseen by a Montessori teacher and capable assistants. Through these positive daily activities, even the young child will gain an appreciation and respect for his/her environment and for his/her peers.
