Toddler
Our Toddler Program offers a nurturing environment for children aged 18 months to three years, fostering independence, exploration, and a love for learning. We provide spacious and inviting classrooms where toddlers can move freely and engage in various activities tailored to their developmental needs.
Dedicated and nurturing trained teachers accompany a toddler on their journey, offering guidance within the well-designed curriculum. The main focus areas are fostering cognitive/speech/language development, developing fine motor and gross motor skills, introducing grace and courtesy lessons, and promoting independence.
Families have the flexibility to choose between half-day or full-day sessions, with extended care options available to accommodate a range of schedules. Our holistic curriculum emphasizes individualized language enrichment, hand-eye coordination activities, art exploration, and practical life skills such as plant watering and table washing, nurturing every aspect of a child's growth and development.
Highlights

- Structured Schedule: Our daily schedule includes dedicated time for individual and group activities, outdoor play (weather permitting), morning snacks, and in-class Spanish instruction. Full-day toddlers also enjoy nap/rest time in the afternoon.
- Child-Centered Environment: Our bright and airy classrooms provide ample open spaces for toddlers to move and explore at their own pace, fostering a sense of curiosity and independence.
- Montessori Philosophy: Rooted in the Montessori philosophy, our Toddler classrooms are carefully curated to promote self-esteem, respect for oneself and others, and a love for learning. Dr. Maria Montessori believed that the first six years of life are the most critical for development, and we strive to create a nurturing environment that supports each child's unique journey.
