Toddler Program Philosophy

Here, at the Montessori Toddler Program, we believe your child is at a very unique age. They're not infants, but they are not quite preschoolers. As toddlers begin to master language and mobility, they discover a whole new world. They begin to interact on a more complex level with their peers, parents and teachers, as well as with their physical environment. At our school, we encourage toddlers to use their new found skills to solve problems, make choices and practice self-help skills. Our program is geared for ages 18 - 30 months. We provide your child with individual attention the need to feel loved and nurtured with a 1 to 6 ratio. We also provide potty-training when the time arrives. Our open communication with you, the parent, is critical for your child's success.
