A program for Toddlers

A toddler is a child between the ages of 18 and 36 months in a Montessori Classroom. A lot of things happen during these precious years including:

  • Toilet Training
  • Language Development
  • Tantrums
  • Teething and Biting

These are years of great cognitive, emotional, and social development when Montessori guides help lay the foundation for independence.

The toddler Montessori materials are specifically structured to meet the developmental needs of toddlers and to support their need for purposeful activity. The toddler will focus on language development and acquiring skills to become independent learners. They will focus on the following areas:

Language Development

  • Promote listening skills through stories, songs, and conversation
  • Build communication skills through exposure to language and opportunities for expressive speech
  • Auditory discrimination

Independence

  • Hand washing
  • Dishwashing
  • Putting on and taking off jackets, shoes, pants, shirts
  • Preparing snacks
  • Toileting

Social Skills

  • Being respectful to self, others, and the environment
  • Conflict resolution through language
  • Showing compassion
  • Engaging conversation

Psychosensorial

    • Number blocks and puzzles
    • Stacking and nesting cubes
    • Sorting and counting materials
    • Orderly fashion
    • Tactile discrimination

Developing fine motor skills and movement control is important for preschoolers. Montessori practical life activities like using tongs to move pompoms from one bowl to another, crushing eggshells, pouring water, and matching games allow children to develop fine motor skills required for writing.
