The Toddler Program
Each year there will be students who progress academically, physically, socially and/or mentally to the point that they would benefit by moving to a level that offers more challenging opportunities to match their development. Readiness criteria differs from level to level and program placements are not determined solely by academic ability or age.
The Toddler Program
18 months to 36 months
The Toddler Program nurtures children who are walking from ages 18 months up to 36 months. These young learners are beginning work in the early Montessori materials with the guidance and assistance of a lead teacher and assistant. The Toddler Program supports young children learning to master toileting independently. Toddlers are given every opportunity to use the restroom on a modified schedule to encourage the natural rhythm of their bodies as they begin to adjust to a routine. There is a range of developmental practices for children gaining their independence as young walkers and talkers. An emphasis at this level is placed on gross and fine motor development and language development in a supportive and nurturing environment.
The Toddler Program is divided into two subgroups:
Toddler I: Early Learners
Toddler II: Pre-Primary
