Why Families Choose Our Toddler Classes

Our toddler classroom is designed just for young children who are ready to move beyond the infant stage. Everything about the environment supports independence, curiosity, and calm.

In our Half-Day Montessori Toddler Program, your child will:

  • Build early social skills in a small, caring community

  • Learn through hands-on, purposeful play

  • Enjoy daily music, movement, and songs

  • Develop independence with real-life skills

  • Experience the Montessori approach at a gentle, toddler level

Socialization in a Gentle, Guided Community

Toddlers are just beginning to learn how to live and play with others. Our teachers guide social growth through:

  • Simple group routines

  • Practice with taking turns and sharing space

  • Clear, calm language for solving small conflicts

  • Support in using gentle hands and kind words

Children learn that school is a safe place where they are seen, heard, and cared for. This experience builds confidence for the preschool years.

Music Every Day

Music is an important part of our toddler classes. It helps with language development, rhythm, and emotional regulation.

Each day includes:

  • Songs with motions and finger plays

  • Simple rhythm and movement games

  • Exposure to basic instruments

Music brings joy into the classroom and supports listening skills, memory, and pattern recognition.

Why Montessori Is Ideal for Toddlers

The Montessori approach is carefully matched to the way toddlers naturally grow and learn. In our Montessori toddler environment:

  • Shelves and furniture are child-sized and accessible

  • Materials are real, beautiful, and inviting

  • Each activity targets one skill at a time

  • Children choose from a range of prepared activities

  • Teachers guide with respect, patience, and clear expectations

Your toddler learns how to take care of themselves and their environment, which builds pride and independence.

Half-Day Schedule That Fits Toddler Rhythms

Young children learn best in the morning. Our Half-Day Montessori Toddler Program focuses on a morning work cycle and routine.

A typical morning includes:

  • Arrival and greeting

  • Choice of classroom activities

  • Practical life work and sensorial exploration

  • Snack time

  • Music and movement

  • Outdoor play, as the weather allows

  • Closing routine and goodbye

Children leave before they become overtired, which supports smooth evenings and restful naps at home.
