EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
The Toddler Community
"Help me to do it
myself” ~ Dr. Maria Montessori
The teacher assists the child in
developing self-control and self-confidence through communication and real life
activities. In this safe and caring
environment, these young children are encouraged to explore and challenge
themselves as they develop into independent human beings. It is during this
period of development that a balance between trust and independence begins to
emerge.
The
Toddler Program serves children in a small and intimate group of twelve
children; a Montessori trained Toddler teacher and a trained teacher's
assistant. There are two program
options, either half or full day. The environment conforms to the physical
needs of the children, both in the size of the furnishings and in the
opportunities for development.
