Toddler Program
Ages 18-36 months
A Prepared Environment for Growth
The toddler classroom is a prepared environment at the heart of the Montessori philosophy which aids the child to become independent and develop coordination, concentration, and self-awareness.
We offer full day enrolment options during the school year August through May, plus June and July. Our summer program for toddlers is only available to children enrolled for the previous or following school years.
What Your Toddler Will Experience
Independence Skills
Children develop self-care abilities through practical life activities like pouring, using tongs, scooping, and dressing.
Mixed-Age Community
Toddlers learn in a safe, nurturing environment alongside peers of different ages, fostering social development.
Sensorial Exploration
Hands-on materials help toddlers refine their senses and develop coordination through purposeful exploration.
Language Development
Rich language experiences through songs, stories, and conversation help toddlers build vocabulary and communication skills.
Cognitive Growth
Age-appropriate Montessori materials support cognitive development and problem-solving abilities.
Outdoor Play
Daily outdoor time in our safe playground supports gross motor development and connection with nature.
