I Do It”…A toddler’s favorite phrase. No matter how difficult the task, a toddler wants to do it himself.
Our Toddler environments are designed to provide the tools for children to do things on their own. We meticulously select and create materials that support our students’ need for independence as well as their physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development. This kind of environment frees the child to grow and develop according to his own potential and at his own pace.
In our Toddler community, we value the child’s energy, abilities, and curiosity. Our Montessori trained teachers focus on providing meaningful activities that promote exploration, movement, concentration, fine & gross motor development, language, and order. These activities and experiences allow the child to build a strong foundation for their future academic endeavors.
In this community, the teachers are also working hand in hand with the children and their families to complete the toilet learning process.
