The Toddler Classroom (18 months to 3 years)
The Montessori toddler classroom is designed to encourage
independence, the child's inner sense of order, socialization
and language development.
Independence
Through the
practical life area in the classroom, the children are
presented materials and activities that
will develop skills to enable them to do everyday tasks
by themselves.
Sense of Order
Toddlers have a very strong sense of order.
Each material has its own place and is always returned
there. The class is always run on the same schedule every
day.
Socialization
In our classroom we encourage social interaction
by giving the children the correct words to communicate
their feelings and needs.
Language Development
The toddler is very sensitive to
language. At circle time songs are sung and books are
read to enrich the child's vocabulary.
