Toddler

During the period from birth to age 3, your child’s brain develops more rapidly than at any other time, and more learning takes place than at any other stage of development.The typical daycare will care for your toddler and keep them safe, but do those kinds of programs provide room for growth? Even at 2 or 3 years old, children have untapped potential for development.
The Prepared Environment is crucial for toddler development. In our Mantra Montessori classroom we provide the child an enriched environment that is also calm and organized. Soft rugs, books, child-sized furniture, and an assortment of Montessori materials are prepared in such a way that every child can find a comfortable place to work.

In our Montessori classroom for toddlers, safely supports your child’s drive to do things alone, developing confidence and a sense of competence. The environment is language-rich, with adults using proper nomenclature rather than baby talk so that the children are exposed to and develop a broad vocabulary. Adults also support toddlers in communicating with each other.
In this learning environment, children work independently, observe others, explore freely, and express their curiosity and creativity. A self-care area fosters toilet awareness and independence in maintaining personal hygiene.
