Our Toddler Program 

Our toddler program serves children 18-36 months of age and opperates five days a week. We offer both 3 days a week (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday) and 5 days week programs.  Children can attend half-day, full-day, or extended day.  This program offeres both a traditional school year calendar and a year round calendar.  We currently have two toddler classrooms in operation.   

Dr. Maria Montessori understood that a child's education begins at birth and the first few years of life, being the most formative, are important both physically and mentally. Development of the brain and the child's intelligence in these early years proceeds at a rapid rate. This is humanity's unique opportunity for each child to construct his individual potential and independence. These will be achieved through Montessori activities involving:

  • Care of environment
  • Practical life activities
  • Development of language skills
  • Movement
  • Music
  • Social interaction

The directress and classroom assistant will nurture the child's natural curiosity and love of learning. The Toddler Ministry provides a solid foundation for a smooth transition into the Primary Program.
