Program Goals

• Foster exploration and independence
• Lay the foundation for future learning

Curriculum

Since toddlers are committed to achieving independence, we provide responsive individual attention as your child deals with positive experiences as well as frustration. Toddler learning is based on play and learning activities which make use of Montessori materials. We focus on these key developmental areas:

1. Sensory and perceptual development
2. Self-help skills
3. Physical and motor skills
4. Social and emotional growth

Our curriculum takes advantage of the rapid growth of gross and fine motor skills at this stage of development. In a typical day, the toddlers experience large and small motor activities involving

• self-help skills
• snack preparation
• exploring manipulatives
• music with movement
• art expression
• practice with social skills
• caring for nature
