Our Toddler Program


Our toddler program is designed for children typically aged 2-3 years, with flexibility based on each child's individual development. We provide freedom of movement and choice, allowing toddlers to explore their environment at their own pace. Practical life activities are emphasized to promote independence, while opportunities for music, stories, art, and motor skill development are integrated throughout the day. Our approach also includes gentle guidance in toilet training, respecting each child's readiness and individual process.

Guiding Principles


Our toddler community aims to support your child's growing independence and social skills. We help children learn to work both independently and collaboratively, fostering a sense of community from an early age. Language acquisition and communication skills are prioritized, giving toddlers the tools to express themselves effectively. We cultivate respect for the environment, self, and peers, laying the groundwork for positive social interactions.

The Montessori Difference for Toddlers


Dr. Maria Montessori, the visionary Italian educator and scientist, identified key characteristics of toddlers that our program leverages to support their development. Understanding toddlers' incredible capacity for language absorption, we provide a rich linguistic environment, helping children expand their vocabulary and express themselves joyfully. We also honor toddlers' drive for independence, guiding them in learning to do things by themselves and thereby developing a strong sense of self-efficacy and confidence.
